Access 97 on Win 2000 Server

[Ikee]

We have several Access 97 Databases that currently run on
an NT Server. Now we are preparing to upgrade to a
Windows 2000 server. My questions is: Are there any
issues with running Access 97 on a Windowns 2000 Server?

I also have an Access 97 DB that I am running on a SBS2K
machine, This DB is being accessed by frontends of
Access2K running on Win 98, Win2K and Win XP machines
wiht no problems.

I had found a Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 308633
I am testing this on a Citrix Server. I have not found
any problems "yet", but we also running on Win 95, Win 98,
Win2K machines - that was my main concern, as well.
Thanks for your response!

There shouldn't be any problem with different OSs on the Citrix Clients
since Access is actually run on the Citrix Server (provided the Citrix
Client works correctly on the users' PCs).

I am only testing on the Citrix since it currently runs on
W2k Server. The Access 97 databases are currently on NT
Server with no issues. I copied them to the Citrix for
testing and so far there are no conflicts. I just want to
make sure before we swap out our NT for W2K. Don't want
any unexpected suprises! Since there are varied versions
of windows on our PC's - this is my main concern.
