2003 Runtime and Full version on same machine?

[Salad]

This is probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. Can the Access
runtime and the full version coexist on the same machine? The reason I
ask is that I want to create a 2003 runtime and want to be able to test
the process. Since the runtime modifies the registry entries I want to
make sure. I've had my experience of installing 97 after 2000 and I
don't need to experience version problems from MS.

You are aware that you can start your Access with the Switch " /runtime " ?
The behavior should be the same as the runtime version.

You need to create a shortcut to Access on your desktop and edit the
properties to something like this :

"C:\FullPathToAccess\MSACCESS.EXE" /runtime
C:\FullPathToYourDatabase\YourDatabase.mdb"
