OT: Pls submit your Access 97, 2000, XP/2002 databases to help build conversion tool

[Rita Nikas [MSFT]]

The Microsoft Access Product Group (the people who build Microsoft Access)
want your help! One of the main things we're working on for the near future
is a conversion tool to take Microsoft Access 97 databases (primarily, but
also Microsoft Access 2000 or 2002/XP databases) up to Microsoft Office
Access 2003. For us to do this, we need sample databases from *you*, our
customers, to ensure a quality tool.

If you're willing to paricipate in helping us build a quality conversion
tool, please send your Microsoft Access 97, 2000, or 2002/XP database to
(e-mail address removed). When you submit a database, please keep in mind:

* You won't be receiving a copy of this database back.
* We will be using these databases for internal testing purposes *only*.

*** Please be sure to zip the database due to Outlook security. ***

In addition, these should be .mdb files and those databases in wide use and
production.


TIA.

Hello,
Just what would you be doing to this database??? I have an old VB app that
used access 2.0 that will not run in Access 2000 to update the questions. I
lost the source-code when an employee left and need to run the tfs.mdb file
in access 2000 to update the question database then convert back to access
2.0. Is this something of interest to your group?
