Hi
I am using A2003 on XP. The client has A2000. So I have ensured that I have
developed based on A2000 and compiled as such.
I have found that in a number of cases now, I have used (what I thought) was
fairly standard methods & properties, but as it turns out, not so. I
install on the client's machine and recompile and have found that a method
is just not recognised in A2000. eg: in A2003, docmd.OpenRepor t includes
the 'OpenArgs' parameter. In A2000, there is no such parameter available.
I am wondering is there a way that when using A2003 (apart from what I'm
already doing), to ensure that I don't use methods that seems to only be
available in A2002-3 and not in A2000?
TIA

Actually, I've been wondering the same thing, and besides developing in the
older version to make sure you don't try to use newer features, I don't really
know a way. I can tell you the few things I know, though.
1. The OpenArgs parameter for reports was added in Access 2002.
2. The Replace function was added in Access 2000.
3. The Recordset property of forms was added in Access 2000.
And finally, I find Access 2000 to have too many bugs to be worth using,
myself, so if you can try to convince clients to at least upgrade to 2002,
that will save you some hassle.
Thanks very much for your information. It's much appreciated.
Michelle
PS: Have tried convincing clients to upgrade, but it's not happening any
time soon.

Go tools options and select Turn Off New Features Added after 2000. Simple.
You could also look this up in Help.
This is the second time I've seen my name used in a remailed message that

In an A2000 ADP I cannot edit data in an MS-SQL2000 view that has a
simple JOIN in it. However I can edit the data in the same view if I
open it in A2003 or SQL Query Analyser/etc.
I understand A2000 was developed for SQL7? Is there any way to get
around this behaviour?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
