MS Access '97/MS Office '97 Compatability

[ryanmc]

Hello ...

My company wants to upgrade from MS Access 97'/MS Office '97 to MS Access 2000/MS Office 2000 or MS Office XP, and I was wondering if MS Access 97' is completely compatable for these upgrades -specifically for MS Access because of the storage of database information?

Thanks,
Ryan

Access databases will need to be converted as the format has been changed. Users who open previous-version Access databases in Access 2000 can manipulate data and use the application, but they cannot make changes to tables, queries, reports, forms, macros, or modules. The resource kit for OFF2000 contains some white papers about conversion, I suppose the same will go for XP. The XP resource kit is available at

The OFF2000 resource kit can be found at TechNet, just search for resource kit office2000.
