RE: [MS_AccessPros] Re: Access 2000 files with Access 2010?

PMFJI:

At the risk of stating the obvious, you will, of course, have to install
Office 2010, or at least Access 2010, as well. It's not a part of Windows 7
as you probably realize.

Bill mentions a few minor adjustments. I've had one database convert and run
smoothly under 2010. However, a few of them peed on my shoes before we got
them fully housebroken. The more "bog-standard" your databases are, the more
likely they are to convert smoothly. If you've done a lot of fancy coding,
used a lot of ActiveX controls, etc., it may not be so easy. Your mileage,
in other words, will vary.

Thanks, Bill. I'm actually looking for a new computer with windows 7 on it
so I guess I'd only have to copy over my .mdb files and convert them to the
.accdb files. Thanks again.
