[AccessD] Changing to newest version of ACCESS?

Catherine,

If Access 95 is being used, upgrade right away.  Access 97 was much more
reliable.

Access 2000 includes a 'compact on close' option that is pretty useful where
people can't (or won't) compact regularly.

Access 2002 includes a Me.OpenArgs property for reports that is really nice
to program with.

If you end up using A02 or A03, keep the database in A00 format.  There is a
bug in A02 and A03 that can bloat the database if the format is not left in
A00.

BTW, if you can get a copy of the Access 2002 Developer's Handbook, it has a
good description of the changes that occurred from Access 2.0 to Access
2002.

Also, what is the belief that a newer version of Access will run better on
their upgraded machines?  ANY version of Access will run better on ANY
upgraded machine.

Best of Luck!
Dan

Subject: [AccessD] Changing to newest version of ACCESS?

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?

Thanks

Catherine
