MS Access Forum / General 2 / July 2007Conversion to Access 2007
Would some of you please post your suggestions for the best resources on converting from Access 2003 to the new 2007 version? Thanks  SignatureJeff C Live Well .. Be Happy In All You Do http://accessjunkie.com/default.aspx SignatureArvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com > Would some of you please post your suggestions for the best resources on > converting from Access 2003 to the new 2007 version? Thanks The Grand Old Man of Access, Allen Browne, has an entire section devoted to converting to ACC2007, Including a section called "The Good, The Bad and The Buggy!" Go to the site and scroll down almost to the bottom of the screen! http://allenbrowne.com/tips.html SignatureThere's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat! Answers/posts based on Access 2000 Thank you both, I wish there were a way to run 2007 with an option to keep it as a completely separate program rather than one which automatically merges itself inot any existing configuration. SignatureJeff C Live Well .. Be Happy In All You Do > Would some of you please post your suggestions for the best resources on > converting from Access 2003 to the new 2007 version? Thanks What do you mean by merging itself into an existing configuration?

Thanks If I load Access 12, will it not load itself as the default application causing all my 2003 tools to open in the new version? That is what happened when I loaded the new Excel. I have been hesitating with Access because of the number of applications I am overseeing with Access 2003. SignatureJeff C Live Well ..

Thanks Both versions will coexist on either an XP or a Vista machine. Load them into separate folders. I have both complete versions of Office happily coexisting.

(In other words, it changes each time you use a different version) However, since you're going to have multiple versions, what difference does it make which is the default? You can always open whichever version of Access you want to use, and then open the specific application you want. There are also 3rd party products out there that will detect the version of Access, and open the application using that version. See, for example, ACCVER at http://www.aylott.com.au/software.htm or http://www.openaccess.co.za/BlackAndWhiteInc/AccessOpener.htm One warning, though. There's currently a major annoyance in that it can take several minutes to open Access 2007 when it isn't the default version.
