Upgrading Access to 2007

Hi,
I have an application which is written in Access 2003, with a SQL
server 2000 back end. The application uses a lot of VBA, as well as
quite a few macros.

We are about to upgrade to Office 2007. What are the main issues I
should look out for?

Thanks for any help

Here's a starting point:
http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html

The article doesn't deal specificially with the SQL Server back end: that
depends if it's MDB or ADP.

Thanks for putting that together. It will save me some time and headaches
if any clients move to 2007.

Hi,
you might also find my website helpful. It deals with the conversion
process from Acc2003 to 2007:

Awesome, oli-s! I glanced at it just now, but I'll read the whole thing in
the next couple days.

When I ordered my new laptop, Sony didn't offer Access 2003 in its bundles. Recently, I have begun to design Access databases using an copy of Access 2002 from my previous laptop. It works fine, but I would like to have all the office apps on the same version. So I have a few questions: 1) Is the file format the same as 2002? Can 2002 users read 2003 files? 2) What are the major reasons for upgrading to 2002 ?

Hi. Not sure that this is the right place to ask but here goes. I have an application based on access97 and VB6 which I need to upgrade. It has to handle up to 20 concurrent users on a Win2k network ( to be upgraded to XP next year) which has no connection to the outside world, but normally there are no more than 2. It has approximately 150 tables with complicated validation rules and a large amount of calculation. I want to rewrite it...

I recently upgraded to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000, and Access 2007 from 2003. When I run a ADP created in Access 2000 (which worked fine in Access 2002 and 2003) in Access 2007 everything is fine, but when I go back and run it in Access 2000, all the sprocs are renamed: SprocName;1 (with ";1" added to each sproc name) so they are not recognized in Access 2000. Is there a workaround to this? Thanks, lq

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.
