My old version failed in 2007. (1 Viewer)

As a bit of a discussion, mainly for the longer term people. Those with Access programs written in 97 through to 2003.

Have you had any programs that have faild when run under later versions. Like 2007 to 2013.

I have had one and it was an easy fix.

Is this a big problem or just a very rare occurance.

I've converted 15-20 A2000 mdb's to A2007 accdb's. Most have run fine, a couple had little quirks I had to fix. The oddest might have been one where the load event of a form fired when the application was closed (but only after conversion). It threw an error because it couldn't find a login form that would normally be open at that point. Took me a bit to figure out what was happening, and I never did figure out why the load event was firing. Ended up trapping for the error to get around it.

Thanks Paul

That is a lot of databases.

No problem Rain! I'm sure others have more applications running. My employer has operations in 2 cities, so many of my applications start out as 1, then grow in 2 different directions after I install them.
