Problems Going From 2000 To 2003
Aug 30, 2006
We have just sold our first database which is written in Access 2000. However the buyer runs 2003 and we are having trouble with getting it to run correctly. Does anyone know anything about programming differences between MS 2000 Access and 2003?
Also is it possible to install both 2000 and 2003 on one computer (and also 2007)?
So far our problems are:
1. We are tripping their security alerts.
2. We can't seem to read public variables from another form.
HELP!

How unusual is it for a database to become MUCH smaller when converting it from 2000 to 2003 formats. I mean 600megs to 10 megs. And as far as I can tell all the records are intact....!

If I have access 2000 from Office Pro 2000 can I JUST update Access to Access 2003? Or do I have to update Office to get Access to update?

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.

Hi experts in MS Access!
Need to know if I can open a MS Access 2000 (large) mdb-file in MS Access 2003 Professional without loosing any functionality? Is there a working way around this behaviour of MS Access 2003? It seems now, when comparing from MS 2000 openings some functionality got loose when I open the same 2000 file in Access 2003. Working environment is MS XP professional and all security patches for Office 2003 Pro and XP are applied.
Regards.

I have developed quite a few Access 2000 applications for clients and continue to maintain and update these applications. I am starting a new position with a client using Access 2003 at the client's location. I would like to upgrade to 2003 but I still need to service my 2000 clients. Can I install and run both versions of Access or can I still maintain the 2000 apps under 2003? Help!

I converted an MS Access 2000 DB to 2003 with no problems. I am able to open it up in Access 2003 now either by double clicking it or from Acccess - file open. I then created an MDE file in Access 2003, but when I tried to open it up I got a message saying
This database is in an unrecognized format.
The database may have been created with a LATER version of Microsoft Office Access than the one you are using. Upgrade your version of Microsoft Office Access to the current one, then open this database.
I noticed a service pack will get rid of this errror. My question is if I distribute the MDE will the user get the same error if they don't have the service pack installed on their PC? Will my installation of the service pack fix the errror and allow anyone to use the file without getting the message.
Thanks

I've converted a microsoft access 2000 into 2002-2003 filesystem because I want to build a mde.
First I downloaderd the jet service pack 8.
The problem after the conversion:
reports in a form don't work anymore, the references to form values are popping up as parameters disrupting all the functionality.
The same with the data-entry within this form as i'm using a lot of conditions which reference other form values.
I found out:
The reference to one of my subforms is to the 'name' of the subform which is correctly spelled in the subform.
When using the 'build-up' function to build a reference the loaded form shows a subform name 'with the source-object name' while access normally uses the name value of a subform. What a scam

I have written my very first database in Access 2003 but it tells me that it has been saved in Access 2000 Format.
My questions are:
1. Why has it done this?
2. Can I change it 2002 or 2003 format?

I have an Access mdb file that uses linked tables to connect to SQL Server 2000 using a System DSN. The Access database contains many databound forms that are used to update data in SQL Server. Recently, we moved the database from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2003 server. After we did this, the Access database would lock up at certain spots in the forms.
We have been investigating this for over a week, and finally realized that it seems to be a Windows 2003 issue. We have tried putting the database on two different servers running Windows 2000 and have had no issues.
We then tried putting it on two different Windows 2003 servers, and had the constant lockups.
Our original thought was that there was an issue with the new Jet drivers for Windows 2003, but we looked at the msjet40.dll on both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 and the version on all is 4.00.9025.0.
Does anybody have any idea on what could be causing this?

Hi
At work I was just updated to access 2003. I am trying to update a data base that I created in access 2000. Whenever I try to open a data access page I get the following error. "The installer encountered an internal string error. Installation failed." I've updated the Web components and that seems to have gone ok. My IT people are at a loss.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Wondering if anyone had tried this yet, and if so, encountered any problems. I have a few existing DB's in the office. Split with backend on server in mdb format. I am now using both 2003 and 2007... BUT.. Now that the runtime is out I would like to make my future updates in 2007. So the question is... Has anyone used a 2007 file format frontend with a 2000 to 2003 file format backend? I understand that the new field properties wouldn't be available in the mdb backend, but besides that, would they still link properly?Thanks

Hi,
I'm just wondering if there is any differences in writing queries in vba in different versions of access. i'm developing a search function in access 2000, but it doesn't seem to be working. however, the same code in access 2003 works fine.
Here's an extract of the code when the search button is clicked (I'm getting table information, attribute/field information and condition they're specifying from the user. The result is then displayed in a subform):
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
Dim searchSQL As String
Me.cmbTable.SetFocus
searchSQL = "select * from ENGINEERS INNER JOIN TEL_CABLING ON ENGINEERS.EngID = TEL_CABLING.EngID where " & Me.cmbTable.Text & "."
Me.cmbAttribute.SetFocus
searchSQL = searchSQL & Me.cmbAttribute.Text
Me.txtCondition.SetFocus
searchSQL = searchSQL & Me.txtCondition.Text
Me.subfrmTest.Form.RecordSource = searchSQL
Me.subfrmTest.Form.Requery
End Sub
The part in red is the part that is highlighted whenever i run it in access 2000. The error message is: " You entered an experession that has an invalid reference to the property RecordSource "
Can anyone tell my why it's like that and how i can fix it to work for access 2000?
Thanks I've also enclosed a picture of the form, so you can get a feel of what it looks like.

I have successfully used the recommended way to display images from a folder in a form as posted on the microsoft website.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210100/
These instructions were for Access 2000. I noticed that there are seperate instructions for doing this using Access 2003.:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285820/
My questions are:
1. If multiple users access this database using different versions of Access (2000 and 2003) will it not work for some?
2. do i have to modify code if i update to 2003?
Thanks for youir feedback!

I have built a rather extensive database using Access 2000. When I install it on an Access 2003-enabled machine, the first time it is opened, the user is presented with the following errorbox:
"An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?"
At this point, clicking "Yes" results in an update the installation of Access 2003. Then the database must be opened manually again. Then, the following is displayed:
"Module not found."
Closing the database at this point and then opening it again results in a normally functioning database.
I have several questions:
1) What is the feature that is no longer functioning properly?
2) What is updated when the installation exec runs?
3) What module is not found? I assume this is one of the VBA modules that I've created, but I've check all 62 of them and they all seem to be there available.
4) My first guess was a reference problem, but I've checked the references used and all are available, as far as I can tell. These are the ones that I have referenced: VBE6.DLL, MSACC9.OLB, DAO360.DLL, STDOLE2.TLB, MSCAL.OCX, MSADO25.TLB, MSO9.DLL.
5) After getting the first error - the one about nonfunctioning feature, I clicked "no" to the repair now question. This does nothing except the database remains open. At this point, I opened the code and tried to compile, but I get the "module not found error". I likewise tried to set a breakpoint in one of the first modules and I get the same result.
6) I even tried to copy the forms, queries, tables, and reports into a blank database with no references and no other extraneous code and received the same result.
This site has been extremely helpful in the past and I am really relying on you guys again for the same stupendous help now.
Forever in your debt,
Tom

Hi all,
having some serious troubles with a MS Access 2000 project running on a Windows 2003 Server environment.
If I compile the project it doesn't produce a compiling-error. Everything seems to work fine. Creating a .mde file and running it on a Windows Server 2003 produces some serious errors. The project seems to be starting correctly but opening a form or simply trying to close the application causes MS Access to crash! :mad:
I tried the project on 2 different Windows Server 2003 environments, 1 having MS Access 2000 installed and 1 having only MS Access 2000 Runtime installed. Both are experiencing the same problems.
The following references are used in the project:
- Visual Basic For Applications
- Microsoft Access 9.0 Object Library
- Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Library
- Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
- Microsoft Jet and Replication Objects 2.6 Library
- OLE Automation
- Microsoft Office 9.0 Object Library
- Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.8 for DLL and Security
I tried the following solutions to solve the problem:
* Removing MS Access completely and reinstalling it.
* Compiling and creating a .mde on the Windows 2003 Server which has the full version of MS Access 2000 installed.
* Using JetComp to repair the database.
* Creating a new MS Access 2000 application and copy all Forms/Modules into it.
Nothing helped so far..
The same project is running correctly on Windows 98, ME, 2000, 2000 Server and XP Pro/Home. Both Windows 2003 Servers are fully updated, including updates regarding MS Access.
Help...

I have written a database in Access 2003, saved as an Access 2000 format. This runs fine on Windows XP workstations. When I install the same system on a Windows 7 system, my login screen launches, the user is able to enter in their name and password. Then nothing happens. What is supposed to happen is a form opens up after the password is entered that applies security written in code based on the user.

I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
