Is there a wizard that can convert a mde to adp? Third party tool?
I found a lot of documentations on converting older mdb to newer ones, and
upsizing to sql server. But since adp is a relatively new file type, other
than building it from scratch, there ought to be some ways to bring the
existing MDBs to this new form.
Thanks!

You can use the upsizing wizard found in the tools database utilities menus.

Thank you Paul.

I have also heard conflicting reports about if ADP could run on Win98/NT.
Some one said 2003 ADPs could but 2000 ADPs would not. Is that true?

Hi,

I have never had trouble running 2000 ADP's on WinNT4 both server and
workstation, cannot comment for Win98, but I would not recomend
anything for Win98 except for upgrading it to a proper OS like Win2K or
WinXP, but that is just my opinion.

Regards

Alex

Office 2003 requires Windows 2000 SP3, Windows XP, or later. Office XP was
the last version to support Windows 98 or Windows NT.
