2007 code not working in 2003

[Helsi]

I have a database developed in Access 2007 - i have converted it to a 2003
version but when i come to use it on the 2003 machine a load of the code has
disappeared?? I have heard that there is some bug that causes this - is that
right and what can i do!

Hi Helsi,

I have not heard of any bug like this, where VBA code is left behind in the
conversion process. However, many of the Wizards in Access 2007 were
re-written to create "embedded macros" instead of the VBA code that they've
always created. Since embedded macros are new to Access 2007, one cannot
expect them to downconvert successfully. Could this be the problem?
