Our company currently is using Windows NT and Microsoft 97...yes we are still in the dinosaur age. We are getting upgraded to XP very shortly. The problem is that we have a database that we use all the time and need to be able to get to it with XP. Our computer people don't know if it will upgrade without problems...does anyone have any suggestions to get this to upgrade with out losing information. Any help would be appreciated

Thank you!
 
Depends if you are using code or not.
I'm porting Access client (version 2.0 !!! , beginning of the univers) to
access XP.
I need to recode all module.
I think that there isn't great problem to convert Access97 to Xp.
Note that it's possible to change the S.O. and use Access97.

If this can help you.

Lots of people still use Access97; it's probably the best version
Microsoft ever released. And it's got by far the best help file - when
and if you do upgrade, KEEP THE HELP!, it has most of the content
you'll need and VASTLY better indexing and contents.

Generally upgrading databases from 97 to 200x proceeds smoothly. I've
never heard of data loss as an upgrade flaw. You can have some
problems with VBA code, causing forms and reports to have problems
until the code is fixed, but generally nothing more need be done than
making a copy of the database (you *do* want a backup just in case)
and opening it in the newer version, accepting Access' offer to
upgrade.

You might want to ask this question (with your Caps Lock key turned
off) in microsoft.public.access.word.general. This newsgroup is for
Microsoft Access, a different program.
