Funny.  I had a similar experience with A2K when it first came out and
was also expecting nightmare problems this time but all is well so far.

Thanks Jim, that's good news.  It seems like when I played with
converting apps to Access 2000 some years ago, there were some
immediately noticeable things that we were going to have to fix after
the conversion.

Thanks again,

Rusty

Rusty,

We're in the midst converting many Access 97 apps to 2003 and have
encountered nothing to stop us thus far.  The apps range from tiny
workgroup level tools with mdb FE and BE to larger sytems with SQL BE's.


HTH,

Jim DeMarco

I'm just starting to work on converting our Access 97 databases over to
Access 2003 and the first one I tried converted with no issues and seems
to work fine so far.  I still have lot of testing to do but I can hardly
believe I haven't found issues yet.  This is a fairly involved
application (front end utilizing SQL 2000 linked tables, importing excel
spreadsheets, exporting to excel and running code in the excel workbook,
etc..)

I ran the Access 2003 Conversion toolkit and the details of the database
are:
111 Tables
186 Queries
65 Forms
52 Reports
12 Macros (for custom menu bar)
12 Modules (with thousands of lines of code).

My question is, has everyone that has done this type of conversion had
this same type of success with converting to A2003?
