Access Problems Converting From Office 2003 To 2007
Nov 28, 2007
Our Access database is multiple user. The front end is on the local drive and the data file is on our main server. Our database has numerous queries, forms and reports accessed by command buttons or directly. Various queries are set to merge with Word documents.
What are major or annoying problems that have been encountered by converting. Our database is contains our membership information and is crucial to our operation. Detailing problems/solutions if possible would be extremely helpful. Asking for allot but very concerned about conversion.
Thanks for any input.

Hello,
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard.
But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007.
I can't use the Package Wizard.
How can I do to solve this?
Thanks.

I've created a database in 2007 but now found out that it will only be used in 2003. The database started as a template but has been modified quite a bit and also includes several macros and some vba. The problem is, when I save the database in 2003 format(from2007) it keeps all functionality when opened with 2007, however, when I open it in 2003 none of my buttons, macros, or vba work. The main project form is also very functionally different. Does anyone know of a way to get my functionality into a database that will open in 2003? I really don't want to spend the time redoing all this in 2003. I've uploaded my database if anyone wants to take a look (its split front end and back end) The front end is the one with problems.

This is very strange. I have converted two computers from 2003 to 2007. I have also installed 5 2007's on to new computers. All of these are Professional XP sp2 setups. I copied over a database to woek on those computers. Originally the performance was very good, on all of the computers (but not the lowest specified converted laptop ) exitting from a form containing a subform takes 37 seconds. The word Calculating... is on the status bar. The laptop takes 3 seconds par with what it used to do.
I have transferred the 'Data' database, the 'Apps' database, Utility.mda and another .MDA. I have also transferred all the Reference executables to one of the other computers. This has not made a jot of improvement.
Has anyone any pointers. I have exhausted all the resources trying to find a solution to this one.

Good morning,
We just switched to Access 2003 (from 2000) last week, and now none of my reports will open. Everything else works fine, I can open tables, queries, forms, etc., but I can't even open a report in Design mode.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it an Access 2003 quirk or am I doing something wrong? Any ideas on how to fix this would be great. Since all of the other objects work I guess I could just redo the reports--there are only thre of them. I seem to remember something funny happening when I moved from Access 97 to 2000 too...
Again, any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Earl

Neighbour has got a new `puter which came with Office 2007 (without Access )
He needs Access to run an app for his business.
He still has a copy of Office 2000 Pro.
Are there any issues with installing Access 2000 alongside Office 2007. ?
The app calls Outlook to send emails.
Will there be any problems when Access runs this - ? -
Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeoutlook.exe"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
TIA

I'm trying to locate the Developer Extensions so that I can compile my Access 2003 application to distribute to my end user.
I'm getting totally lost in the myriad of documents and links on the MS website that keep sending my round in ever decreasing circles. I've downloaded Visual Studio Express - Visual Basic Edition but can't seem to find it in there.
Can anyone point me in the direction of the software that I need to be able to distribute my Access 2003 applications.

My office is upgrading from office 2000 to 2003 this weekend. Should I run the
"Tools - Database Utilities - Convert Database - To Access 2002 2003 Format"
I have about 10 small databases various users access. Is it good practice to run this or just keep it in an office 200 format? Thanks.

Hi, I have a few Access 2003 databases and I need to open them on my computer which has Access 2000 on it. Can anyone please tell me how to convert it so it is compatible? I have looked into "databse utilities" "convert to" etc but can't figure it out.

I've been hired to clean up and convert a flat filemaker database into access 2003 and I've spent the last two weeks learning the ins and outs of access and doing preparations. Well, today some high up database guy in another department told me not to use access because in the future when a new version of access comes out we will have to recreate the database from scratch because there are lots of problems converting between versions. I'm aware there might be some hiccups but I don't really agree with him. Plus once the database is up and functioning I don't see why we'd even have to upgrade it to a new version. It's just a small health centre patient database with info about patients and their treatments. Does anyone have any opinions about this. Thanks.

Hello,
I have created several files in Access 2003, and sent them to a collegue, but he is using Access 2002 and cannot open my files.
What do I need to do so he can access my files? My experience with Access is very limited.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a customer that did not read my recommended hardware specs and bought a Vista machine with Office 2007 preloaded on it.
My application uses a Access 2003 database and it is working fine in the Vista environment. The database utilizes Access security and has a database password.
My problem is that I can't see any data that has been entered! I have ran queries and opened the tables, but it is as if there is no data in the tables. However, my application can still read the data...this is a very weird problem! This is a tech support nightmare!
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks for your help!

If I design an .ADP project in 2007, will users be able to use this if they only have Office 2003?
...or is there a way of making an exe file with Access projects?

Ever since my company upgraded everyone to Office 2003 I have the following issues:
When I click the checkbox that automatically send an email I get the following Pop-up.
"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".
Then you click either yes or no.
After you click yes you then get the next Pop-up which basically says the same thing and you have to click yes again and it finally take you into outlook so the email will go.
Is there anything to get rid of this nuisance? We did not have to do this with Office 2000. I have lowered the security to as low as it will go and still this keeps happening.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Microsoft has released beta of Office 2007, this includes a new UI to many of the old office programs. For the time being you can get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/getthebeta.mspx
Beta 2 of Internet Explorer 7 has also been released:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
And I know I've posted on this before, but just so it is in the same place, Visual Studio 2005 can be downloaded here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/trial/
There are also many business-oriented programs in beta for testing. If you own a small business, or think your company may have a need ~ test it out, get a feel, for free.

I just found out something that was pretty cool about Office 2007, specifically Access 2007 and Outlook 2007. Working with them together, you can create an email form to gather data for Access and when the email is returned, all filled out, Outlook will export the data into your specified Access table.
I just played with it a little and it appears to have some issues when dealing with multiple tables, but for a simple data gathering it would seem pretty cool. In fact you can set it up so that it won't automatically process until you want to, or you can have it process right when the email comes in.

Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.
However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.
My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.

Hi All,
Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).
Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.
I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.

Has anyone else experienced thisproblem, or does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Just wondering what the consensus is on MS Office 2007 package. I find it tasty and is quit different from the past versions. That being said, I am relearning the options and finding many new features that weren’t available in the past.
I am very impressed with it thus far.

Hi,
I have a link table to my contacts folder held within the public folders on the exchange server. The link table was created automatically using the wizard and connect fine. When you open it, all fields are showing except for the email type and email address.
I cannot think of any reason why it would not show this. When you look at the table, the fields are actually there they just dont return any records? Even more frustratingly, every so often you can open up the table and they appear only to disappear again the next time!!
Any ideas?

I have a dbase that was created in access XP. We are in the process of upgrading to office 2003. For the most part the database works fine. However, I have 1 form that has a few fields that have conditional formatting
on them and when the form opens those fields flash very fast continuously all most like the tab key is being held down. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop. Has anyone seen anything like this and how do I make it stop?

PC 2 Win 2K Aceess 2003 ditto

setup looks identical to mine no missing refeneces etc - No images will display in the image frame on the main form.
I have no hair left. Any ideas??

Hello everyone,
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

Thank you very much for your help and all responses are appreciated,
