Compatability of A2000 and A2003.

I have A97 and A2K on my computer at home, on which I do volunteer
work for several databases on our county park system. One of the
clients uses A97, and the rest, A2K.
The A97 user is considering upgrading their Microsoft Office.
If they upgrade to Office 2000, I have no problems; I'll convert their
A97 database and we'll be in business.
But what if they upgrade to Office 2003 (I think there is such
a thing) and install A2003. Will I be able to freely swap their A2003
database back and forth between their computer and mine? Or will my
A2K gag on their A2003 database?
Thanks. Pete Brady

An A2000 application will work just fine on A2003. You'll want to be
cautious that they keep it in A2000 format, however. If they convert it to
A2003, no one will be able to open it on A2000.

HTH,

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.OpenReport includes the 'OpenArgs'...

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? -- regards, Bradley

This is for a personal "fun" application I've been toying with for years first in A97, now in A2003. It's just for me and my friends who aprticipate in a weird hobby to use. My friends have A2000, but none have A2003. I know I can't give them an mde, but are there any pitfalls to developing in 2003 and giving a 2003 mdb to a machine with 2000? I'm thinking of putting in a routine to check for Jet version (not sure what version of...

I have a user who has what I assume is a VB application: it's opened with an exe file, there are numerous dll files in the directory in which the executeable resides, along with an mdb file that I could not open in A97, but can open in A2003. Assuming I'm probably correct that this is a VB application, what part of A2000 (the vintage of the application is such that it was installed before A2002) is actually installed, or does it need to...

A client has just successfully upgraded from Access 97 to 2000. I don't have Access 2000, but I do have Office XP. Can I successfully use my Access on their database? They kind of did this behind my back, and I'm responsible for the application maintenance...! Dick

I've converted my frontend and backend from A2003 to A2000. Data is linked, however, I receive "recordset not updateable". Additionally my code stops on a simple function which turns data in a field from lowercase to uppercase (not updateable). I checked my references only difference is using M.A. 9.0 Object library instead of 11. Both frontend and backend state A2000. Lastly, the frontend and backend will function in A2003, but not in...

Hello Group. I work for a company who is about to embark on a long awaited Office upgrade from Office 97 to Office XP. Office XP comes with Access 2002. I am an accomplished Access developer so I have read up on the complexities of upgrade in the corporate environment. Also the need to carry out a full MDB audit to get rid of the redundancy etc etc

I have a database on a shared drive. It has user level security (ie: mdw file). It was created in A2000 and works fine when opened on workstations with A2000 installed. Some workstations have A2003 installed. On those workstations there is an unbound form that continually gives the un-useful message: "Microsoft Access Has Encountered A Problem And Must Shutdown, We're Sorry For The Inconvenience"

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
