My other Access conversion problem (1 Viewer)

[christheancient]

Currently, I'm on Office 2000. My wife's networked machine is on Office 97. I now have Office XP ready to load.

Will there be much in the way of conversion problems when I want to make my currently developing database (see my other thread) available in 97, 2000 or XP?

Will my currently being developed database be ok going from 2000 to XP?

Thanks in advance

Chris

There are always bumps in the road when you change a database from one version to another. Most are relatively easy to fix but sometimes there are things that will test your patience. Remember that the navive code for Access97 is DAO and for Access2000 and above it is ADO. If you are going to be 'downgrading' to Access97 then I would suggest you write all your code in DAO....

hth,

Thanks Jack.

Hopefully, my 'downgrades' are looking fine (pls see my other thread).

As long as going 'up' to XP doesn't make it worse than I've got, I shall stay happy(ish).
