The company I work for does most of it's development in Access 2003
using the Access 2000 file format.
The biggest problem with that is that some of our clients use Access
2000 - and Access 2000 is missing some important features that Access
2003 contains (i.e. OpenArgs for reports). I'm still bemused as to why
Access 2003-specific features aren't disabled when using the Access 2000
file format. But, that's the breaks. Then again, I could force the
application to use the Access 2000 object library....but I digress.
I almost got caught one day - I was going to deliver a DB to a client
and I was unaware they ran Access 2000 (I was certain it was '03).
Unfortunately I'd been using the Report.OpenArgs property for a while,
so you can bet my application truly borked itself when I tested it under
2000 (yeah, I know, my bad on the testing there).
Needless to say that hasn't happened since :)

Office 2000 and Office XP previously. But why do you need 2 offices in the

Hi Thomas,
I don't know about the two offices working together but I would imagine
they
would be fine. When you install make sure you install in this order:
Office 2000
Office 2003
VB6
VS.Net
I've seen problems on system where Office XP or VB6 were installed before
VS.Net. As for installing Office 2000 before Office 2003 I put them in
that
order because it just sounded logical. Good luck! Ken.

OK, I didn't know where to start to ask for help with this question, but
here goes. I have a Windows 2000 Pro computer with a single partition on
the hard drive. I want to installed the following software on it:
Microsoft Office 2000 Professional (for Access work)
Microsoft Office 2003 Professional (for Access work)
Microsoft Visual Basic version 6
Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 Professional ( for .Net work)
Will these programs conflict with each other? If so, what would be a
better
solution?
Thanks,
Thomas
