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."

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,...

I have some old "shelve" databases created in Python 2.2 that use the old bsddb format, whereas the version of Python 2.4 installed by my web hosting service doesn't have bsddb available at all (or at least, it has, but probably not linked properly to the more recent Sleepy Cat versions of the Berkeley DB - it fails to import _bsddb). Currently, I have to put python2.2 in my shebangs to get the cgi scripts to run at all. The question is...
