Will Access 97 reports run in Access 2002?

[Guest]

Currently utilizing 100 Access 97 reports but must upgrade application to
Access 2002. Will Access 97 reports run in Access 2002 or is a conversion
required? If so, is a converter available? Thanks.

They will need to be converted (along with any forms.
queries, modules). This conversion is commonly 100%
automatic when you open a copy of your A97 mdb file in a
newer version of Access. There are a few options settings
you should turn off or at least review and you should always
check your libraries references.

Note that if you have followed recommended procedures and
split your application into front end and back end mdb
files, it is not necessary to convert the back end until all
front end machines have been converted to A2002.
