[AccessD] Upsize archaic

 > Would it be possible for you/someone to load and use Access 2003 on the W2000 PC/server?  Access 
2003 and Access 2000 can be installed on the same PC.

Maybe.  I know they have Access XP, I am not sure about 2003.  In fact that is a good point.  I have 
XP on my system there at the client (I have a box in the server room) and maybe I could open the be 
on my machine, the upsize from there.

I pulled this one table be down to my office and am currently running the upsize from Access 2003 to 
SQL Server Express directly on my server.  It is chunking along as we speak.
