mdw issue for 07 conversion (1 Viewer)

[jedder18]

Have 2 2000 db's that I converted to 2003 and need to convert to 2007.
Getting a security issues when trying on the 07 end due to the mdw security ???

Any options to get these converted to 07???

short answer is no - 2007 and later do not provide that facility, you need to write your own if you are converting from 2003 to 2007

Having said that, you can run a .mdb/e from 2007 and the mdw will still work

I need to remove the mdw feature in order to convert.
I don't want or need the mdw feature in the 07 version.
My mind is spinning with all the security stuff I'm reading...

I had to essentially roll my own brand of security after converting from 2003 to 2007. The trick here is to be sure you make it a real pain in the toches for anyone to see the database window. Then let them do things through forms with data controls and command buttons. Then and ONLY then will you have adequate control over what your users see. If your prior security scheme depended on MDW security to prevent folks from seeing things, i.e. they can see the database window but MDW "hid"things from your users, you will have a long conversion road ahead of you.
