    There are switches and special transforms to install previous versions
    of MS Access onto previous versions of the TS OSs. Such as NT 4.0.
    However A2003 may, and I do emphasize the word may, install on NT 4.0
    but it won't work.

    (I say this because A2002 won't install on Win 95. Except the runtime
    would install but would fail when you executed A2002 with an
    interesting error message.)

    A2002 and previous will, I'm pretty sure, install on NT 4.0 TS.

    Hmm, I think. I'm starting to lose track of what version of Access
    will install on what OS.
