should I convert my databases to Access 2003? 1

[beckyh]

Or just open my Access 2000 databases with Access 2003? What are the pro's and con's of each scenario? Thank you for your feedback!

All 2003 products use .NET except MS Access? Hmmmm.... can't say I've noticed any of them using .NET, but then I don't use VB in the rest of them very often at all.

Don't forget the terrible "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost." bug in Access 2000! The first time that one hit me I almost abandoned the Access platform for good. And it occurs when using the standard wizard for importing objects.

The clincher was that Microsoft acknowledged the bug ( KB304548 ) but didn't supply a public patch to fix it - they only supplied a support number to call so you could haggle with the support staff about the validity of your software license before getting the fix.
