In Access 97 being able to use the expression builder in the visual basic
coding environment was very useful - this has been missing since Access 2000
and I know the reason is documented in
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=245181 - fairly lame excuse it appears to me
for there are third party builders available for so why can't Microsoft do
it??? Consequently I still program most of the time using Access 97 - I
can't believe Microsoft would drop this incredibly useful functionality -
Access 97 does every thing most people require so why upgrade?

If you need it that badly, then use Trigeminal's free TSI Xpression 9.0 in
Access 2000 and 2002. Please see the following Web page for the download:

It's a tax write off as a business expense, but if you don't need or use the
newer features, then Access 97 is suitable for many small database
applications. Keep in mind that only page locking is available for Jet 3.5,
whereas record-level locking is available in Jet 4.0, so for concurrent
usage with transactions, upgrading has a strong appeal. Not to mention the
fewer chances of database corruption with Jet 4.0.

HTH.
