2 versions of Excel

[René]

Hello,

I'm currently using Excel 2003, but alos want to install a previous version
of Excel because of an add-in that doesn't work in Excel 2003.
Are there any known problems concerning running two different versions of
Excel on the same computer?

Greetings
René

I have read in the NG's that it is OK to have more than one version on a
computer as long as they are in different folders. (Not that I could afford
to test it out!)

There are no problems running multiple versions (I have 97, 2000 and XP on
this machine), but you should install your primary version last, so that
defaults when an xls file is clicked.

On my previous PC I had both XL97 and XL2000, as I elected to keep 97
when I installed 2000. The only problem I recall is that csv files were
read by the 97 version rather than 2000 when I double-clicked them to
open them. It wasn't a major problem, and I could probably have fixed
it in the file associations table.

It can be done, but MS don't recommend it. One thing you WILL need to
do is uninstall 2003 first, and then install the older version, then
reinstall 2003. This ensures that the latest libraries and such are
loaded. For further details see:
