I already use late binding for that very reason. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

You will have problems with Ole Automation and references to Excel Word Outlook if they are used, but by sacrificing a bit of speed you can use late binding to default to to the installed version of Word etc rather than using Word 9 or Word 10 libraries.
Also make sure your clients are all using the same version of Jet, I believe A2K came with Jet SP3. You can get Jet SP6 from here which may ameliorate your odd crashes. get the correct version for the OS. Before you install SP6 on a computer that is running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0, you must already have Jet 4.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later installed. You have at least Jet 4.0 (SP3) if the file msjet40.dll is version 4.00.2927.4 or later

That was my plan, to set default to A2K. I didn't know that about the
decompiling. If I build an app in AXP/A2K default then distribute it to A2K
users, will there be any troubles with references or anything?

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!

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.
