Access 2007 & 2010 Coexisting

Post by armsys »

Can both Access 2007 & 2010 be running on the same computer?
Has anyone tried out Access 2010 X64 beta?
What are the benefits of using X64 version?
Regards,
Armstrong

Yes, you should be able to install Access 2007 and 2010 on the same computer (install 2007 first), but I wouldn't recommend it for a 'production' computer, only for a 'test' computer. You may have to reinstall Windows when you replace Office 2010 beta with the final release.

The 64-bit version of Office 2010 will enable larger Excel workbooks and Project files, but as far as I know it won't offer any advantages for Access over the 32-bit version.
Best wishes,
Hans
