Converting to 2003

[Guest]

We've got a load of custom Outlook forms which we've been running in Outlook
98. We're now upgrading to 2003. Can anyone point me towards some info
about issues that are likely to cause problems?

One of the forms is linked to a database and is already causing difficulties
in that the page used to look up info in that database is completely disabled
in 2003.

Any ideas and advice gratefully received!

A P.S... I've had a look at the form in question's code and it links to an
Access database via a line:
Set dbEngine = Item.Application.CreateObject("DAO.DBEngine.35")

Is this Jet Engine reference out of date in 2003?

Martin,

I am toying with this kind of thing at the moment. I have an IPM.Post form
in OL2003 looking up some data from an Access database with a bit of code I
got from someone else on here and edited. The equivalent line to yours is:

Set DBE = Application.CreateObject("DAO.DBEngine.36")

This works fine for me, so why not give that a try?

Regards

Vaughan
