Hi Thomas. Yes, you can install them both, just put them in separate folders. (I'm currently running three versions on the same machine here.) However, the only one you CANNOT run both versions of is Outlook, so don't even try to do that or you will have more troubles than you want to deal with. The other programs are fine tho...you can run both versions with little problems (just don't let Access XP convert your databases to the 2002 version tho, or you won't be able to open them in Access 2000) The rule of thumb is to always install the older version FIRST...so, install 2000, then when you install XP, do a custom install and you will be asked if you want to replace the older version. Just say No. Linda Publisher ~ ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers Owner ~ Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com FREE MS Office eBook Tutorial http://personal-computer-tutor.com/library.htm -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thomas N.
