Access 97 & Access 2007

We unfortunately have multiple versions of Access running, including
Access 97. My system was recently upgraded to Office 2007. Now,
whenever I open an Access 97 db and subsequently open another db
using
Access 2007, the software goes through a two minute configuration/
setup routine. The installing tech acknowledged this issue and said
they had a registry hack that prevented the problem with Access 97
and
Access 2000 but as of yet have no solution for the 97/2007 problem.
Does anyone have a solution?

No, I'm not aware of a solution for this.

It's very frustrating if you select the wrong version.

It's not much of a solution, but you can partition the hard drive and make your
computer a multi-boot system. You can have the same OS in both boot
partitions. Then install which ever version of office you use the least in the
second boot OS.

Simple.

Just split the 97 databases and then convert the front end to at least
2002 version.

The backend would stay as 97.
There would be two front ends.
e,g App1.mdb and App1-2007.mdb

So you just run the 2007 front end whilst others run the 97 one....

Also,

Give the 97 users the 2003 run-time and upgrade every database to this
version at least.
It works fine in Access 2007 and even 2002 databases work fine.

There's a rumour the 2007 runtime will be out by next month and for
free.

I've been clicking around Access 2007 Beta 2 and can't see the custom menu bar designer. Is it in the beta? Maybe I'm blind. The question that comes to mind is: Will custom menu bars be the same height as they were in previous versions or will they be the "ribbon" style that takes up a huge portion of the screen? Also when I use Access 2007 to open an Access 2003 database that has custom menu bars they display as they did in Access...

I'm doing a quick 2 step process to access a database, as outlined here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tw738475.aspx I successfully point to my Access 2007 .MDB file. But in the configure data source dialog, when I go to 'Query Builder' - I immediately get an "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object". Haven't written a single piece of code yet, and I've got the framework (v2.0) installed.

Tried compacting multiple dbs with Jetcomp(V4.0 1997-98). Only one out of twelve compacted correctly. Used the built-in 'Compact and Repair' facility and all compacted correctly. Is Jetcomp no longer valid for use with Access 2007? Will an updated version be released?

Hi, I have a query where I select all the values from my MS SQL table that are LIKE a certain string. The query works, but in the ASP page, I only want to write the date once, while writing the values from the other column in all cases. To illustrate, i have a table that looks like this: ID Date Name 1 2007/01/01 city_house 2 2007/01/02 city_farm 3 2007/01/02 city_house

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,...
