    Different versions of MS-ACCESS

    Hello,

    I have a user that is running an MS-ACCESS 97 application. However,
    she needs to have some extra development work done on this database
    but I have ACCESS 2003. I can open the application using ACCESS 2003,
    however, I can't make modifications because I am on a different
    version.

    So, ACCESS 2003 said that I have to convert, which is fine to continue
    the development work, but I will still need to move these objects back
    to the ACCESS 97 database.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Audrey

          Audrey,
          Ask her if she would consider upgrading--"pay me now or pay me later"

              The free runtime version of Access 2007 may be an alternative.

                  I always recommend that you either develop, or test extra thoroughly, on the
                  same version of Access that the user has, at the same SP level. Can you
                  develop on your Access 2003, save in Access 97 format, then test extensively
                  on the user's machine under Access 97 before "delivering " the application to
                  the user?

                  Otherwise, you are tempting fate to confirm that "life is full of little
                  surprises".
