pw-pa2008

I've just purchased the 2008 upgrade ( moving from 2005 ) and I'm thinking I don't want to eliminate my old version before I get a chance to test this new one. Has anyone tried a clean install ( different dir/ or even different drive/dir/ )?

I have an XP peer to peer, 4 user, network with one peer serving as central server... but that machine has less than 512MB of ram. My laptop is 2GB, and also has 4 other company files that are not utilized via the network. If I do a standard install on my lap unit first... I lose the ability to utilize the networked company files... thus my delimma. Do you think it's possible to have both versions on the SAME computer?

Yes, you can install the new version in a different location, however once you convert your data files to 2008 you won't be able to use them in 2005. The other issue is the 2008 uses a newer database engine which you will have to temporarily turn off (from the system tray) before you can switch to the

2005.
