conversion

[Guest]

1) i am converting an access 97 database into access 2003. can anyone give
me any pointers/warnings/difficulties about doing this (anything at all)

2) i have heard some conflicting information about whether DAO is supported
by 2003. can anyone explain?

3) if i have to update to ADO, what is the quickest/easiest way to do that?

extra info: i did not create the 97 database, i was just tasked to convert
it -- i do not know all of the intricate details of the database
modules/functions, etc yet.

1) See:
Converting from Access 97 to 2000, 2002 or 2003

2) DAO is natively supported by A2003.

3) You don't have to. DAO is the native Access library, created specifically
for Access, an still the most suitable library to use for your database that
uses Access (JET) tables.
