Migrating from Access 2000 to 2003 - new features? 3

Hello all,

The business I work for is migrating to Office 2003 next year from 2000. I was wondering if any Access 03 developers could point out any new features I should look in to, to improve my systems as I migrate them. I have tried to find 'whats new in 2003' etc... but would appreciate any other developers views.

The systems I write import csv files, show an image on screen that relates to each data row, after correction by the user, the data is stored in a seperate table and reports are run off this. I use PDF Pro Plus library to automate the production of the reports since 2000 does not support landscape and portrait reports in the same file (ie. snapshot). All the code is already written with ADO rather than DAO.


For the image view - I use the KODAK libraries which I know will need to be altered for moving to Win XP.

Thanks for you time

Tim

Thanks for your suggestions. They may well be on target but after reviewing other posts on this site I see that some people have few problems with Access 2003 while others have nothing but problems. Printers. Network issues. Program crashes. Etc.

I have given up on Access 2003. Frankly, it just isn't worth the trouble that it has caused for me. I think it's one of those "if it ain't broke don't fix it" situations. My stuff works perfectly in Access 2000, and on several different computers.

I am not usually a quitter, and also enjoy working with new software but, as far as I am concerned, Office 2003 is going to mold away on the shelf.

Tom
