converting databases via code

ARC
Hello all,

I'm attempting to update a client/server application from access 97 to
access 2000. I have a number of .mdb files that I use for various uses. If I
distribute new access 2000 .mde's and runtimes, is there a way through code
to convert the existing access 97 .mdb's to access 2000? Or do I need to use
a new folder with blank 2000 .mdb's, and import the data from each access 97
..mdb?

Many thanks,

Andy

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'm writing a wizard for the end-users to automatically find and convert their Access97 databases on a specific drive. 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."

Hi ! I have many simple, low-tech database applications spread throughout my organization that I developed in Access 2K.. Most have ODBC for Oracle connections ( read only ) to our principal application ( a mid size hospital's ADT software ). My current version of Access is 2000. I must now decide wether or not to install Access2003 on the PC that I use to develop these applications. The users will be converted to 3000 over the next 6...

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 was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. Someone I know is trying to move away from Microsoft Works, and I am trying to look into a solution that would convert their data in a lossless fashion to a more modern format. The database has more than 65K rows, so converting it to be an Excel spreadsheet, would, AFAIK, not be an option. It would seem that MS Works can export the database as a DBF format database, though I...

I work for an organization that is migrating from Access 2000 to Access 2003. About 5 or 6 years ago we migrated from Access 97 to Access 2000 with no problem. Will I have trouble converting these already converted databases to Access 2003? We also have 2 mda's, will these convert with no problem in the mda format. We no longer have the mdb that made the mda. Are there any other nuances that I need to look out for? Thanks in advance,...

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,...
