I've got all kinds of versions on/off this system and the only problem I've discovered is that Rocky get trashed on me now and then...which is annoying when I get a message saying I don't have any character installed...when I have them all. But I suspect THAT is part of my problem...because I also have all the agents installed, too. So it's probably due to those troublemakers...which wouldn't be a problem in your case. No need to uninstall anything...just install 2003 in a separate dir and as was already said, you can't have two OLs running, so that will have to be an upgrade...no real choice in the matter...one of the other. You will notice a long delay when opening a different version, however. This is due to the registry having to reset to the other version...so prepare to wait a bit when you open one after having the other just opened. Dian D.

Another lady I know has at least 2 versions,possibly all 3 on one machine, so it should be fine ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
