Excel 5 and Excel 2000 question.
 
Hi,

Can we have both Excel 5 and Excel 2000 at the same time?
Currently I have Excel 5 and I'd like to migrate to Excel 2000.
I'd like to make Excel 2000 as default. That means when I double click on any
excel file, it should be opened using excel 2000. However, I also shold be
able to open the excel file using Excel 5. Currently all my excel files are
"excel 5" type.

pls let me know how I can do this. do I have to modify file
associations/registry??
If so pls suggest me how I can do these modifications.

Cheers,

Naveen

Excel 5 and Excel 2000 question.
 
All you need to do is install Excel 2000 in another directory on top of 5.
No registry tweaking or anything is needed. I currently have 97, 2000 and XP
installed on this machine. The last loaded, XP in my case, becomes the
default.
