A2000 and A2002 on same machine

Tom
All:

I posted on this yesterday, but for whatever reason, Google isn't
dealing nicely with it...

Anyway, I need to install A2000 on a computer that already has A2002
so I can create A2000 mde files. I have the A2000 install disk. Our
IT department controls the installation of A2002.

After installing A2000 (into a different directory than A2002)
everything works fine until I run A2002 again. Once I run A2002, it
pops up a dialog box saying something along the lines of its
registering itself - it then runs fine.

The problem is that when I try to go back to A2000, I get the splash
screen to flash, then nothing - I'm back at my desktop without any
version of Access running. To get A2000 running, I need to uninstall
and reinstall. That is getting old.

After doing a little reading it seems MS says a chronological install
is required (although others, notably Tony Toews, disagree). I'd
prefer not to have to do that since it would involve uninstalling
A2002 and waiting for IT to reinstall it when they get around to it...

Anybody have any suggestions as to how I can end up with a working
copy of both A2000 and A2002 without having to uninstall and reinstall
A2002? TIA

Tom

Hi I am using A2003 on XP. The client has A2000. So I have ensured that I have developed based on A2000 and compiled as such. I have found that in a number of cases now, I have used (what I thought) was fairly standard methods & properties, but as it turns out, not so. I install on the client's machine and recompile and have found that...

Has anyone else noticed this problem? I converted the back-end to A2000 and the performance problem was fixed. We supply a 97 and 2000 version of our software so we kept the backend in A97 to make upgrading simple for users. We've done it like that for years but a new client has been having severe performance issues... solved by converting the...

I have an app written in A97. I also have sporatic users upgrading to A2002 as they get XP on the machines. So they need to open my A97 app. To do so, of course, I open the MDB exclusively to allow it to "convert" which actually seems like just a syntax check since it stays in A97 format. Here is the question: If I make a change to a...

This is for a personal "fun" application I've been toying with for years first in A97, now in A2003. It's just for me and my friends who aprticipate in a weird hobby to use. My friends have A2000, but none have A2003. I know I can't give them an mde, but are there any pitfalls to developing in 2003 and giving a 2003 mdb to a machine with...

I have a user who has what I assume is a VB application: it's opened with an exe file, there are numerous dll files in the directory in which the executeable resides, along with an mdb file that I could not open in A97, but can open in A2003. Assuming I'm probably correct that this is a VB application, what part of A2000 (the vintage of the...

I develop my application on my desktop which has Access 2002 (default file format of A2K). My client uses A2K so I have installed A2K on my laptop. Recently when developing in A2002 my front end reached about 22 MB in size. Even after multiple compacts the size only goes down to about 18 MB. I'm on the road so I started working on the...

Has anyone had any experience with concurrent (multi-user) use of an A2000 front end and an A2003 front end on the same linked set of tables? The reason I'm asking is that we've got a number of sites using A2000(SR1) runtimes on each machine at the site, but, for Vista compatability, we're planning to upgrade to A2003 runtimes for new...
