The general rule is if an Access 97 file is "healthy" that it will convert
to a newer version and work without incident. By definition of healthy
would be no compile errors and no corruption. So while in Access 97 do the
following...

Compact

Open a code module and run a "Save and Compile All"
(fix any problems found)

Attempt to make an MDE file from it. If you can successfully create an MDE
from the Access 97 MDB then chances are it will convert to the newer version
just fine.
 
thanks!!!
