Can i use the reference Jet 2.5/3.5 in Access 2003 without any problems?

Hi to you all,

I have some questions.

I just converted my Access 97 database to Access 2003.

To let it still work i referenced the Jet 2.5/3.5 jet engine in my
database.
Is this oke?

Is there anybody who did the same without changing any code?
I have a huge database with lots of forms and code behind them and
modules full of code. I do not have the intention of changing the
code.

I tried using 3.6 but i found problems referring to fields in the
recordset object when i use rec.fieldname. Perhaps it should be
rec.fields("fie ldname").
I am aware of using a ! for refering to fields on a form.

Also had a problem with Workspaces(0).
Should i use DBEngine() instead?

Anybody found more of these problems?
Greetings Patrick

No idea. I certainly wouldn't do this.

Bite the bullet. It's a bit of tedious work but you'll feel better once you're
finished. <smile>

You can also use rec!fieldname.

I think so. What are the lines of code?

Danger: I wouldn't try that. There is no reason for it!

This should be less work than you expect...

I have several Access 2003 mde databases. When I try to open them in Access 2002 I get the following error: "The Visual Basic for Applications project in the database is corrupt." Interestingly I can open the mdb files of the same 2003 databases in Access 2002 without problems. To my understanding the file formats of 2002 and 2003 are the same and this problem shouldn't exist. And why is it only the mde files that are giving the...
