MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / September 2007Coinstall Office 2003 with Office 97
I wish to maintain a dual environment as some of you do. I wish to be able to also run XL97 just as if the 03 installation had not been done. I plan to just answer "no" to any questions to "remove prior" during the 03 installation and plunge in. Can I trust them on that? Any advice or warnings? Are there any known incompatibilities with other combinations than 97 and 03 that you want to mention? On my list is to rename the old links to e.g. Excel97; beware of ADO vs. DAO references in Access; and give up on OL97 because it can't coexist. I'll mention http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP051985111033.aspx for the benefit of any readers simply upgrading, but it seems to ignore the possibility that the prior version is retained. I have 97, 2000 and 2002/XP on this machine with no problems. Keep them in separate directories, and it should be okay. I have several versions of ADO (No idea about DAO, never use it), 2.0 all the way to 2.8. Of course, unless specifically referenced, the latest gets assigned.

Good - thanks for the advice and encouragement. >I have 97, 2000 and 2002/XP on this machine with no problems. > >Keep them in separate directories, and it should be okay.

To install Office 2003 with earlier versions of Office, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828956/en-us Dave >I wish to maintain a dual environment as some of you do.
