It depends.

A sufficiently sophisticated and complex app will almost certainly have a few
areas that will need to be tweaked to work properly in 2007. Relatively simple
ones might work without mods of any kind.

Thanks Rick,
Can you give me an example?
I tried to open the Data Base in 2007. It opens to the Main Menu, but will
not proceed further, when you click on a Selection (Command Button) say to
enter Data into a form. No messsage appears, it just seems to hang.

Any clues, as I am relatively new to this?

Thanks for your help

VBA code of any kind might be getting restricted unless you run from a "trusted
folder".

Sorry to be a pest Rick, but what is the meaning "Run from a trusted folder"

Thanks again

Access 2007 has a new security feature in that code/macros won't execute unless
the file is loctaed in a folder that has been designated as a "trusted folder".
