    Should be fine install Access in a special Location ie C:/Access
    and then Office in its norm dir should be ok.

    I've gone one step ahead and installed Office XP (SBE) and Access 2000 on the same computer. Both work perfectly. And on my home computer I've got Word XP running along Office 2000 Pro, so I can't imagine that there'd be any problems. As KdjaC says however it's probably best to keep it in a different folder (I'd say within the Prog Files directory would be best - C:\Program Files\Access ), and if possible, it might be best to install Access first.

    You'l have no hassle as long as you (as advised) install in a different directory - I had four versions of Access on my machine at one point. Same for all other Office programs (except Outlook). It might be easier for you if you install the older version before the newer version but it won't make that much difference TBH
