Any known issues between Access 2000 and Access 2003

[Guest]

Hi guys,

My company are moving over to Office 2003 from Office XP. I do some Access
Database work for them and have developed databases in Access 2000 format.
I've had a quick look at a couple of the databases after converting them to
2003 and don't see any issues but I wonder if there are some things (vb code)
that I should be aware of.
A link to a site with any "what's new" or "what to look out for" info would
be greatly appreciated as would any snippets of knowledge that you may have
encountered.

Thanks in advance,

Lee

Hi Lee,

In general, you should be pretty good to go for Access 2002 ---> 2003. I
can't think of too many issues, other than the rather annoying macro security
thing that shows up every time you open a database (this can be disabled).

Here is a Microsoft Knowledge Base article that you may find helpful:

How to use the new features and the new enhancements
that are in Office Access 2003

are there known issues?

yeah, of course

Access MDB is the least reliable database in the world
of course there are issues

move to SQL Server or one of the freeware solutions from any of the
large vendors
