I have a large access 97 database and am considering an
update to Office 2003 Pro. It looks as though 2003 cannot
read the earlier versions of Acceess which must first be
compiled and re-formatted. The instructions for this look
somewhat daunting. Has anyone done this? Did it go
smoothly? Any problems?
Many Thanks,
Harvey
 
If your application was built under Access 97, it will probably convert
without much problem.

You may run into trouble if:
- it was originally built in Access 1 or 2, and uses the compatibility layer
or old DLL calls.
- it uses ActiveX controls (versioning may break).
