Hi,

Does anyone have any kind of software that will allow you to select which version of office you want to run a file with?

I use Office 97 & 2000 as some files in 97 I use with work and they don't have office 2000. As default the PC opens files with 97, therefore when I run an Access 2000 database it attempts to open with 97 and fails. I know that a work around would be to launch the relevant program and open the file from inside the application, but I wondered if anyone knew of a way to specify from clicking the icon?

Thanks for you help.

Gary.
 
Take a look at the "opens with" or "target" feilds depending on wheather it an application or shortcut icon.
