Office XP Compatability

[cschnable]

I know that Office XP is using Access 2000, but it being a new program, does anyone know if it is fully compatible with the current Access 2000.

I don't want to spend the money for XP, and load it on my machine just to find out that there are going to be problems with the databases I already have.

And, will it work OK with my developer's edition software.

Thanks

Office XP contains Access 2002.

From the documentation that Microsoft has provided in it's "Developer Product Guide". Files that compile under access 2000 will work natively with access 20002 (xp).

"The Access 2000 file format is the default file format for new databases and solutions."

"Access 2000 and Access 2002 can use and modify the same database...."

I've done some testing and our 2000 database works fine with office xp (2002).

What you get in access 2002 is great XML support and a few other goodies. But essentially what you get is the new xp interface and some new icons.
