Hi Guys
I need a way for any database that opens to Load one of two reference library’s depending on the Operating System version
For various reasons we are forced to run Access 97 across all machines onsite, however due to recent hardware upgrades we have some machines running Windows 2000 and some running XP.
The machines running 2000 run the databases with no problems with
Microsoft DAO 3.51
The machines running XP run the databases with no problems with
Microsoft DAO 3.6
We have a large number of databases all hosted on a Network Drive and users access them as needed.
Going down the path of front ends for each machine is not practical, as the users can’t write information to the local C drive to update the version as amendments are made.
Yes I know we are antiquated, but unfortunately we have to work in the constraints provided.
All help appreciated.
Regards
Hawk
