Keep Office 2003, but install Outlook 2010?

I'm an MS Access developer, in the process of updating an app developed in MS Access 2003, before converting it to Access/Office 2013.

I would like to use Outlook 2010 in the meantime, but I don't want the reference libraries to get goofed up. I want to be able to distribute updated versions of the 2003 app to users that are all still completely Office 2003.

Are there any problems to installing just Outlook 2010, and keeping Office 2003 ?

Thanks

Thanks - you all made great points. I had un-installed both versions, and put just O2003 back on, and all the problems I was having distributing to other O2003 users went away. Then last night I tried to install just Outlook 2010, and I after looking at that component tree in the install wizard, I got the sinking feeling that more bits & pieces would come along for the ride, and screw me up. I am going to try the VMware solution, or just make them give me another machine.

Thanks again.

I have always hated the Office Install wizard. It leaves me feeling like I have no real way to control what I want to install or uninstall. The VM or separate computer is definitely better.

Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.
