Upgrade from Access 97 to 2003
Jade5 07.09.2006 03:12:02
Hello:
We are about to upgrade from Access 97 to 2003. Are there any common
problems that we should anticipate?
For example, I have a database that uses the DAO library 3.51. Will there be
any issues with this after the upgrade.
How about validation rules. My rules were not created via the After Update
event of controls or forms. Will I have to re-do them?

Thanks,
Jade.

Allen Browne has a good summary at http://www.allenbrowne.com/ser-48.html

To answer your specific questions, after conversion, you'll have to use DAO
3.6., and there should be no problem with validation rules.
