Hi all,

I'm busy upgrading from A2003 to A2013.
At the moment the FE is converted to ACCDB but the BE data tables it is linking to are still in MDB format.
Is it a good thing to also update those (which means I have to go to each Client to do it on site) or is it fine to keep the tables in the old format.

Thanks
 
I doubt it matters, though you wouldn't be able to use new data types, data macros, etc. you could probably create a routine that created an accdb, copied the data tables into it and relink end the front end so you wouldn't need to visit sites. Either that or remote to each location.
 
I would say if you do not need any of the features of the accdb format then leave it alone. A2013 can handle an mdb file just fine.
 
The thin air is slowing down my posts. I'm just one step behind pbaldy. :p:p
 
@Paul and RG - thanks a lot. I'll leave it alone until I really need to change and then go for the routine idea - thanks
 
We're glad to offer advice. It is worth every nickle you paid for it. :D
 
"Slow-fingers" and I were happy to help! :p
