Just out of curiousity, what version is the application in? I never used 2.0, but as many listers have posted, it's rock solid. 95 was horribly flaky, but 97 is as solid as it gets. I don't think they've improved on 97's performance at all (at least I haven't heard of any performance increases). Sounds like there is a different reason to push an upgrade, other then this Access App. In fact, Access applications are one of the largest tasks involved in an upgrade. Our company still uses Office 97 on all of it's 150+ work stations. There are newer versions of Outlook on some machines, but that's it. We do plan on eventually upgrading to a newer version of Office, when the budget allows. Two issues we will be concerned with, at that time, is getting it installed network wide, and ensuring all of our .mdb's are working. There are not many 'coded' .mdb's on the network, mostly querries/reports. 95% of the stuff I have done either have VB or ASP front ends, so an upgrade won't affect them.

Hi, I know that we have addressed this subject in the past. I just wanted to make sure I am up to date. I have a client that has a fully functional database program for her non-profit agency (front-end and back-end). She is receiving pressure to upgrade to the newest version of ACCESS so that it will work better with their upgraded machines. I have told her there is no reason to do this. Is there any reason to move?
