And I support an interest banking application that was written almost 40
years ago. The best it can do graphically do is emphasis letters but it is
paid for, works every time and it is easy to support.

My thoughts on an application on whether it should be upgraded; is whether
it does what it is supposed to. If the answer is 'yes' it stays and if
'no'... time to change. Why change just to change.

I support more 'older' apps than I do new ones. ;-)

Access97 was perhaps the best version of Access ever created; maybe one of
the best application ever built. It was and is a mile post of its time.

I just received an Access database from a client, generated by Walmart's
very sophisticated online supplier reporting system.  I was interested to
find out if it would be in Access 2007 or 2003 format.  Wrong on both counts
- Access 97!
