Versioning Issues

Well.... what else is new.

We have SharePoint 2003 working inside the firewall as our main SharePoint server. We have another server running the extranet that uses SP 2007. We have InfoPath, combined with MS-Office professional, licenced for 2007 but often installed (since the users prefer) as 2003. We can write InfoPath forms, including web-browser enabled forms, using Visual Studio, but they must be deployed on SP 2007. Since our forms go on SP 03 we can't use those deployed forms. Meanwhile office 2007 Word documents need to be downgraded to office 97-03 to save on the '03 SP server.

All can be solved by upgrading SP '03 to '07 and upgrading office to '07 as well, but I just finally got my users onto '03 and besides, many of them hate the office '07 interface.

So I am doomed...
