I do some development work for ING for point of sale software for
salesmen.
Some only have xl95 so I have to write the program for the "lowest common
denominator". They pay well.
I have even had calls from some wondering why the program won't work when
the install instructions sent out by the company tells them they must have
excel installed..

different
directories.

I am helping an OP with a large project. He is 1000 miles away so
everything is long distance or email. I have Excel 2002, he has
2003.
This
has caused no problems throughout the project development until now.
One problem has cropped up that appears (just "appears" at this
point)
to be version related. I won't go into the details of the problem
because
I
haven't defined it sufficiently at this point.
I have a copy of 2003 that I installed once over my 2002, but I
elected
to revert back to the 2002 because of the Help changes and the fact
that
comments in these newsgroups indicated that the benefits of 2003
over
2002
were not worth the Help hassle of 2003.
All that said, I want to install 2003 on my stand-alone computer
along
side my 2002 so that I can properly troubleshoot this one problem.
I
know
that many of you have multiple versions installed so I know it can
be
done.
I am asking for some guidance from those of you that have
already
done
this so that I might avoid some of the pitfalls. For instance,
should
I
install 2003 in a folder outside of Program Files (where 2002
resides)?
Should I avoid running both at the same time?
Should I avoid saving my 2002 file under 2003 or should I make a
copy
of
it
under another name and save it under 2003?
Have you run into any "mines" with this that I should avoid stepping
on?
I am aware of the file association problem and I can work with that.
Thanks for your help. Otto
