[AccessD] A97 MDB to A2k MDB- I use VB6 as 'Front End' ?

Actually, I personally use ADO when in VB, or any other system other then
Access 97's VBA.  The only time I ever use DAO is if I need a specific
capability only native to DAO.

On top of that, when I use ADO, I use Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 for the
provider.  There was a bug in the 3.51 jet provider, which caused me a lot
of extra work, which was fixed by just using the 4.0 drive.  Thus, if you
just use that driver in all of your VB code, you can alternate 97 and 2k
mdb's with no changes whatsoever.  (Even XP .mdb's, I think)

Subject: [AccessD] A97 MDB to A2k MDB- I use VB6 as 'Front End' ?


I developed a small Package for our in office
'Company Store'. It is cheap & dirty cash
register and inventory system a fw years
ago. It isn't anything I'm real proud of, but
It meets my user's needs.

It is a VB EXE with A97 mdb. I'd like to convert
the MDB to A2k and not touch the EXE. I 
expect to be able to just pull the ADO and include 
DAO in the VB project.

Any guidance as to anything else to expect ?

Thanks

Dave
