A-97 and A-XP (1 Viewer)

[chrismcbride]

I am looking to migrate my split A97 db to AXP. However not all the computers on my network are up to running XP. Does anyone know if it is possible and/or advisable to access the new XP back end from the old A97 front end???
Any issues I need to take into account?
TIA
Chris

No it is not possible. If you want various versions to be able to share data, you need to keep the be in the oldest version. So, A97 and AXP can share an A97 be. But A97 cannot work with a "newer" be version. Think about it. How would it know how to handle the new format?
