Convert/migrate Access 2000/2003 to Access 2007

  • Follow


I have a Access DB (front end/back end) originally developed in AC 2000 and 
updated and further developed in AC 2003 on a machine that is running XP. 
Attempts to install and run this DB on a Vista machine with AC 2007 has 
failed.
What do I have to do to migrate my DB to the new 2007 environment. Any help 
with processes and procedures, references, web sites, tutorials will be 
greatly appreciated.

Start here, most of it is covered

View upgrading.  I have had much more problems with Vista than Access in the 
conversion but after doing a few machines and slamming my head against the 
wall, with some reading most of the problems have gone away.  To be 
completely honest, I work in a very security minded network environment and 
that has proven to be most of the problem.  As far as Access 2007 goes, it 
has about the same amount of problems as every upgrade. The interface, it is 
intuitive but...what a learning curve.  Like jumping from DOS to WinXP.  I 
do think MS slammed the door on some previous versions but in most cases 
they did leave the ability to gracefully move to new tech as long as you 
keep old format db.  I also spend much more time helping desktop users find 
that thing they used to use.  To date nothing has failed but a few were 
crippled for a couple days while replacing filesearch utilities or fixing 
trusts/signatures.  Might also be that the guru folks didn't read the 
migration strategy as well as they should of.
