| 1290706 | 2012-07-24 23:58:00 | I won't bother you with why I might want to do this, but if I buy the stand-alone Access 2010, will it play nice with already-installed Office 2007 and Office 2003 suites? I can't see me actually wanting to do this, but can I have Access 2010 installed alongside Access 2007/2003? TIA. |

| 1290709 | 2012-07-25 00:57:00 | No if Office is 64 bit. You cant have 32 and 64 bit office on the same system. It'd probably install it or it'll say you'll have to uninstall the older versions if you've got 32 bit office 2010. Only way to find out, is to install it. See what happens. But, I wouldn't bother with 2003. Since its no longer supported. And support for 2007 may run out in October | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

See what happensThat means I have to buy it and then find out I've done my dough - no thanks. I still don't quite understand what you are saying: (1) Can I run Access 2010 (32 bit) alongside Office 2007/2003 (32bit)? (2) Can I run Access 2010 (32bit) alongside Access 2007/2003 (32bit)? |

| 1290711 | 2012-07-25 01:05:00 | Like I said install 2010 you'll find out. It'll say you cant. You'll have to uninstall old versions. Or it'll install and work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1290712 | 2012-07-25 04:54:00 | Ive got access 2003 running on office 2010 64bit. it has never complained, should be good to go. I do install the access into different folders though ie c:/program files(x86)/microsoft office03/ etc | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1290713 | 2012-07-25 06:33:00 | I've done a bit more research, and it looks like as long as you are careful to install the different versions in different folders (which seems obvious, actually :) ) it will all work, although I believe the official MS position is "unsupported". Good to hear from someone who actually has it working. Thanks. |

| 1290714 | 2012-07-25 06:47:00 | You can run both beside one another as Globe suggested BUT even installing in different folders does not guarantee there wont be problems. ( I know because I just tried it) I used the full packages, Office 2007 & 2010, Even installing in different folders every time you open a program, Access or word for example, it wanted to reconfigure, so opening 2007 it went OK,close then open 2010, and it reconfigured, close open 2007, reconfigure again. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1290715 | 2012-07-25 06:58:00 | Ah, right - I read something about that. I'm only planning to run Access 2010 as an extra, so if I understand it, I may get this reconfiguration thing if I run Access, but not with anything else (I hope...) | Tony (4941) | ||
