    Runtime 2010 with previous versions installed

    I have a accde developed on 2010 for end users. I have found that installing Runtime 2010 is all fine ( the DB has attachments so will not convert to a previous versions.


    I have found a couple of users have Access 2003 installed and have a mdb they are using. So when I installed 2010 runtime for the accde it keeps wanting to open up MS Access 2003. Can a PC run both 2003 and runtime 2010 or does anyone know of a workaround for this?

    sorry about a slow reply. - I've been on holiday . yea. I think trawling thru that lot Allen Browne's final comment that having a separate db developed in all versins is really the best way to go. Even if some users end up with reduced functionality. Eventually they will catch up.
    Thanks
