Converting databases tfrom an older to a later version

Hi
I have an Access application with 2 databases ; kobject and ktables.
This application is used by several users in various companies.
I also have a special .mdw file to protect the application.
Some of my clients would like to upgrade their Access version from 2000 to a
later
more recent version - Access 2003.
How can I allow a user to convert the two databases from an older to a later
Access version
without interfering with the security?
Any hints will be appreciated.
Best regards
Orjan

Have you tried upgrading and using the original (A2000) system db?

A2003 can just use the A2000 versions of the files anyway, without upgrading
them.

What is the strategy for working on an older version of a solution? We labeled all the solution files in VSS a couple weeks ago. The Get on all the files with the label seems to get all the right versions (no files are dated later than they should be). However, when I open the solution in VS.NET, suddenly I get later versions. For example, there is one aspx.vb file that I'm looking at with a text editor. In the folder that I did the Get...

My name is Mario Crevits, I'm from Belgium (Roeselare) and I'm working with Access97 for several years now. We are in an Access97-2000 migration project.

I want to convert the databases through VBA : 1. create an empty Access2000 2. set the right properties and references 3. import the objects (tables, queries,...

hello i am in the midst of converting all of the "inherited" databases from access 97 to access 2000. one of the issues i have is the basic one: dao.recordset. i have read that i need to simply turn off the ADO reference and change the reference ms dao 3.6 object library to ms dao 3.51 object library or "disambiguate the code". i tried both and i still receive the error message "run time error 3420 - object invalid or no longer set."

I'm looking at converting DAO to ADO in my app. All of my DAO connections are of the following structure: Dim wsName As DAO.Workspace Dim dbName As DAO.Database Dim rsName As DAO.Recordset Set wsName = DBEngine.Workspaces(0) Set dbName = wsName.OpenDatabase(CurrentProject.FullName) Set rsName = dbName.OpenRecordset("SQL Statement")

I am creating a managed DLL in C++ using VS.NET 2005 and .NET 2.0 that I hope can be used by applications created for older versions of .NET. I have a feeling this is not possible, and I hope someone can either confirm it is not possible or perhaps suggest what I might be doing wrong that prevents it from working. The DLL works with an application built using VS.NET 2005 under .NET 2.0 (i.e., when the application and DLL were built with...

Many Web designers and developers have been building Web pages for years. Just one person can create so many sites with so many pages that the thought of trying to convert all of them to anything is completely overwhelming. But if you've been building pages with an editor or by hand, you probably have pages that are not valid XHTML, and use old HTML styles like the font tag instead of Cascading Style Sheets. There are valid reasons for...

Up until now, I've been working with V& DB2 UDB databases, using Embarcadero DBArtisan as my GUI tool. I also have other tools that I use in my day-to-day job so running directly on the server via the CLP is not a viable option. I've just had a number of V8 DB2 UDB databases added to my task list. Of course #1, the old V7 DB2 ODBC client software doesn't connect to V7 databases.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...
