I'm not in a position to test it, but I would say that the answer is almost
certainly 'no'.
certainly 'no'.

Its allmost certainly no, whilst I have no specific knowledge of the A97
upgrade, certainly the MS Office suite cannot be upgraded using a later
version qualifying product.
Anyway why would you wish to purchase the A97 upgrade? I assume its at a
good price

The Upgrade version of Access 97 will look for the qualifying products
(earlier Microsoft Office / Access or certain software from Microsoft's
competitors) on your PC (or CD) and Office 2003 Pro is certainly not a
qualifying Product for the Access 97 Upgrade. In fact, the installation
program porbably won't even recognise what Office 2003 Pro is.

I kind of figured. first I thought no way - would not work. Then thought well
maybe..perhaps to accomodate developers, MS would have allowed.
Anyway, the issue is this..I'm developing something for NFP where users
still have 97, only 1 copy of 2003 for Admin. Was going to use the 2003 as
the back-end. If it's not update intensive, guess I could just develop the
one instance on 2003 to sit on their Network for all to share..only like 4 or
5 users, and mostly viewers..
Or..buy full version of 97..
Thanks!

on 2nd thought..users with 97 could'nt open the 2003 version on network.
Guess it's either purchase 97 or don't take on stuff from non-profits with
old software..

We were running 3 different version of Access one time.
Use the oldest version for the back-end and create links from each front-end
to the tables in the back-end.

Thanks. Yes, I've always seen minimum requirements (Office 95, Access 95,
other comp's, etc), and assumed I could not do, but hadn't found anything
saying explicitly that had to be only these earlier versions. Makes sense to
me, I just thought i'd verify here before I went on yet another of my
assumptions.
I guess from a developer standpoint, having a later version, then needing
earlier version for other development, should be able to get 'upgrade' type
price, rather than having to purchase entire legacy version. Especially since
having purchased already the most current full version. Guess it's caveat of
working with older versions..
Thanks again,
