Upward Compatability 2003 to 2007

[azbirddog]

I have bought a new computer and wanted to know if any data base I have done
in 2003 Access is upwardly compatible with 2007 Access? Would appreciate any
feedback on this. I also have 2003 on my old pc but want to know if I can get
the upgrade to 2007 onto my new computer? Thanks for any help,

Not sure what you're after ...

If you have databases in earlier versions of Access, you can migrate/convert
them to new versions of Access.

Be aware that Office 2007 (and therefore Access 2007) introduced the
"Ribbon" as the command interface. Your old (Access 2003) menu bars may
take some tweaking to work in the newer version.

You'll need to check with Microsoft or your friendly neighborhood software
store to see if your new PC qualifies for an upgrade vs. purchasing a full
version.
