[AccessD] Upgrading to Access 2002 from A2K

Mark,

There is a recognized bug in AXP that prevents decompiling an mdb.  However,
if you set the mdb format to A2K when you develop in AXP, you will still be
able to decompile.  You can choose A2K to be the Default File Format in
Tools | Options - Advanced before creating a new database.  

Other than that, I am pretty satisfied with AXP.  I've had an occasional
crash, but nothing I would consider a problem.  I am, however, an avid
control-s guy!

Subject: [AccessD] Upgrading to Access 2002 from A2K


Hi all,

  Recently my computer died due to power source failure, though I was able
to recover files later.  I was due to upgrade my computer here anyway, so I
now have a new computer with Windows XP, the old one was Windows 2000.  We
have yet to do any work in Access 2002.  Some of our clients use that, but
we just send Access 2000 versions.

  I never used to have problems with Access 2000, though I have read many
posts from people who had.  Now that I have Windows XP,  I am having crashes
all the time, with the "Send Error Report"  dialog box.  Twice in the last
couple weeks I have had things get corrupted so bad that I just had to
restore my file from an earlier version and flush my work for the day down
the toilet.  Based on what I am hearing of Access 2002, I am thinking that I
should just upgrade to that, even though I work in 2000 file format.  Are
there any downsides to doing that?  Thanks for any advice.
