[AccessD] Running Access 2003 and 2010 on same PC

Thanks for getting back William. We were hoping you had the "fix".
I wish I knew more about the registry or even file associations, since it
seems that may be where and why the issue arises.
 I have a 1 gb older machine running XP, so perhaps some new hardware
either for
A) a more meaningful Virtual machine to separate the Access versions, or
B) as Mark suggested, to physically separate them. (Dell, HP  and Lenovo
must love this approach)

I can just see some people having to put 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 on
different physical machines.

If anyone has more info -- We're all ears.

Thanks.

PS I think I'll go back and read John C's iStory to put this all into
perspective.
