Our company recently purchased a business that has about 50 Access 97
applications. We are buying new machines that have the latest version of
office and I'm afraid that it will not work against the Access 97 databases.
I feel like I have a couple of different options, but I'm not an Access
expert at all and would like some feedback. Options:
1) Upgrade all Access 97 to Access 2003 (or latest version)
2) Uninstall latest version of Access 2003 from the new machines and
re-install Access 97. There is probably some vba script in these apps. Does
vba scripting in Access require a particular version of Office or can Access
97 run stand-alone independent of the version of office.
3) Install Access 97 to a Citrix box and have anyone that needs to access
these apps, use Citrix. Citrix box also has lastest version of Office, so I
might have similiar problems as well.
4) Find the highest building and jump.
Any thoughts on best course of action.
One other point. We are working under short time frames. A couple of months
to transition.
