Hi looking for advice.....we are currently rolling out XP with office XP. Most users beforehand used A97 (a few A2000, A95). I have been asked to suggest way forward w.r.t. how to implement this process w.r.t to users still being able to run their existing access applications. In summary some applications are user developed using direct access to tables ie. table view some applications third party developed most still have A97 some have been upgraded to XP My initial thoughts were to wrap up all the A97 apps into runtime and distribute...... however this has problems as users have designed some of their apps using table views etc which do not work under runtime also this option prevents users from going in and setting up their own queries and making their own amendments i.e. using full blown Access. So how can A97 users run along side AXP (A2000) users most efficiently? Can this be done?? (I did think whether users should keep hold of their A97 copy in addition to Office/Access XP, but I think we may have used those licenses for the upgrade to Office XP) Any experience/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
