[AccessD] Deploying - Access 2003

Hi Tony and William
Thanks for your further responses. I'd have to buy Access 2003 (only have
97, 2000 and 2002), which I can get from Amazon. There is, as William says,
a copy of the "Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003" on Amazon (in the US not
in UK unfortunately but I guess they'd ship). So this is a possibility. What
worries me is that this must have been developed before newer versions of
Windows so do you envisage problems on Vista/Windows 7? Any thoughts?
Already done it?

Andy

Hey Andy
I see William has responed already. I have a machine that has Access97 
and Access2000 installed. I test my Access2003 installs on this machine. 
I have never had (as of  yet) a problem of installing and uninstalling 
the application, running Access97 (yes I still have a couple of 
applications in 97) or Access2000.. Also my clients have different 
versions of Office/Access on their machines. The only problem I have run 
into is you must uninstall with the original install disk (not a later 
version, won't work).  As I mentioned I don't have Access2007 so I don't 
know if a it has a Package Wizard or how it works.
