After installing Office2007 Professional, on an XP-Pro computer, my access97
runtime application gets an error, when I close the application. After
sending the error report to Microsoft, a web page pops up that says "Problem
caused by Microsoft Office 97: consider upgrading"
The application ran and closed fine before I installed Office2007.
I uninstalled and reinstalled my application with the same result

duh

do what the message says; kid

97 doesn't allow Access Data Proejcts

you are officially 100% obsolete if you use Acc97 for anything

This is Microsoft policy: they make new releases of Access incompatible with
previous versions so that programmer/user must always upgrade.

From my viewpoint MS has done a remarkably good job in making Access compatible with
older versions. For example A2007 can run an A2000 MDE. A2007 can update A2000
MDBs. That's pretty darned flexible.

I'm affraid you may have forgotten A97 -> A2000 (and higher) incompatibility
and all the problems with A97 applications on systems where newer versions
of Access have been installed after the A97 app installation. You must
re-install A97 app on such systems. And, worst of all, all versions of
Access share some parts of registry so that there's a need of a partial
re-install of higher version of Access after you ran A97 app.

IMHO, Access is not fully compatible and sometimes it consumes a lot of time
to make it work!!! If I only knew it 10 years ago... I would never buy
Access!!!

There's a KB article and an article at the Access web explaining how to fix that
problem so to me that's not a big deal.

There is a problem between A2002 and A2003 and another one between A2007 and A2003
but I wasn't aware of the A97 problem. I used to run those lots one right after the
other.

To each thier own opinion. The problems you mention are easily surmountable.
Although the delay when running A2007 after A2003 is highly irritating. There is no
better database development tool out there.

Does Microsoft know about this "issue"? BTW. I my speach all "issues" are
bugs... even in my apps. ;-)
How long it takes to run A2007 after A2003? Could you give us some details,
pls?
