Problems with Office 2003

[Compworld]

For some reason, Office 2003 cannot read my Access 2000 files. Any idea on how I can check and verifty which lines of of code the program does not like?

Thanks,

That's a known issue. It all depends on how you setup your Access 2000 files. Try out the new Office 2003 service pack. It was supposed to deal with some of those compatibility issues among different Access versions.

Applied the service pack. Still no dice. Don't you just love MSFT and their cross incompatible products?

If you don't want to rework the Access database in 2003 then look into a Virtual PC setup and just run the older version of Access there.

Microsoft also has a Access 2003 Conversion Toolkit [microsoft.com] that won't automatically convert things for you, but may show you where the problem code is. It's a big download though.
