[AccessD] A97 - AXP

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.


Richard
