ea have access databases that are used by apx 50 people some are on NT and
some are on 2000. We all have access 97 installed.
If a user with 2000 uses the database and sends an e-mail from the database
the NT people can not untill the references are changed back to 97.
Is there a perminent fix to rsolve this as it will be a long time till we
are all upgraded to XP?
 
Depending on which reference is getting changed, you could switch to Late
Binding, so that no reference is required. Tony Toews talks a bit about this
at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/latebinding.htm

Have you split your database into a front-end (containing the queries,
forms, reports, macros and modules), linked to a back-end (containing the
tables and relationships)? That's the normal recommendation for multi-user
applications. Only the back-end goes on the server: each user has his/her
own copy of the front-end, preferably on their hard drive.
 
Thank you Douglas, I will give it a try and let you know how I get on.
Please may I have some more information about splitting the DB.

Kind Regards
Rachel
