Hi and TIA! I have several apps developed using A2K and now my client is
planning to upgrade to Access 2003. I'm assuming I should open the apps in
Access 2003 and save them as 2003 db's. Is this true and if so is there
anything else I need to do to ensure the transition goes smoothly. Thanks
for your time!!!

It may not be necessary to do *anything*. If you create a new database
in A2003, by default it uses the A2000 database format. There is a
2002/2003 format available (and you'll need to upgrade to it if you
wish to create a .mde file), but other than that, 2003 "plays nice"
with 2000 format databases.
