MS Access Forum / Conversion / February 2004Access 2003 file format advange?
We're upgrading our system from Access 2000 to Access 2003. I'm aware that version 2000 databases can be opened in Access 2003 without conversion, and it did, in fact open, but are there any benefits to converting the database to version 2003? Or, are there reasons why our 2000 database should NOT be converted to 2003? It's hard to beleive that it wouldn't matter one way or the other, and think there must be some advantage to converting to a file format of "2003" if we're using Access 2003. Many thanks in advance. > We're upgrading our system from Access 2000 to Access 2003.

Check out the article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/library/en-us/dnacc2k2/html/odc_ac Format.asp?frame=true. It discusses Access 2002, but the file format has not changed in Access 2003, so all the comparisons are still valid. One additional benefit that is specific to Access 2003 comes when using a digital certificate to sign your database (new functionality in 2003). Performance of a signed database is significantly better when the database is in the 2003 format.

The article is quite long; more than I can describe here. It looks like the URL broke across a line, you need to get the whole URL from the http: all the way to 'frame=true' on the next line. Alternatively, I just created http://tinyurl.com/2osas that should link to the same page and should have a problem breaking.
