[AccessD] A97 on WinXP

For AXP and A2k, I use DAO 3.6 because that is the appropriate version.
For A97, the version is 3.51.  The code is the same, only the version
has been changed. <g>  The activex controls are likely culprits.  Some
of them may not work properly on WinXP, and you'll need to check with
the publishers to find out about any incompatibilities or available
updates.  We had problems with the VB5/A97 calendar control on WinXP,
apparently because WinXP installs the VB6 version of the common
controls.

Sorry for the short response, that was kind of dorky :o)

I didn't want to waste your time (not yet anyway) until I get more
details from the customer with the problem. (I'm not doing this on site
so it takes awhile talking them through things and all). BTW this was a
customer who was quite adament about the fact that they were going to be
using Win2k for a couple of years yet, so I didn't bother testing this
on WinXP. They're still on O97 and might even skip OXP since the MS
marketing machine is already talking the next version of office. OK by
me though.

Some of the forms aren't opening - they show errors and then crash. I
think I've narrowed it down to only the forms that use a 3rd party
Active X control on them.

I just had a thought about the DAO version. Do you use 3.51 for
everything yet?
