I want to link the application in version "m" to the tables in version "k", since user already entered several records. I intend to make those tables the real database from here on out, so any future fixes/enhancements would be handled the same way. In other words, we would link the new application to the old tables. If we don't change the tables I think this is OK. Please let me know if we make a table change and how we would get that retrofitted to the tables. Let me know your opinion on this if you see any problems with this plan? .

If I understand your situation, you have data in an older version of Access,
to which you are linking with a newer version.

The only reason not to "convert" your older version (data) to a newer
version is if you have a user with only the older version of Access
installed. But you said your ?front-end? would ALL be in the newer version,
correct?

If so, convert the back-end and have both front-ends and back-end on the
same version, to avoid having to maintain two different versions.
