Upgrade from 2003

We have a 2003 access database and we are upgrading the office to all the Office 2007 products. There seem to be some aspects of the 2003 database that when opened in Access 2007 do not seem to work properly. Is there anything we should be doing to the 2003 database before we open from Access 2007?

RE: Upgrade from 2003

Hi Craig,
Thank you for your post, sorry its taken a while to respond. To my knowledge if you open a 2003 database in 2007 you will see the Database Enhancement dialog box which allows you to choose to open the database and change it to 2007 or to refuse the Enhancement option which will not upgrade the database and deny you the opportunity to change any design features of the database, as this must be undertaken in the original/previous version.
I have enhanced a number of my databases and have not noticed any particular areas where there is an incompatibality issue, if this is the case where you are concerned please come back with more specifics and I will see if it is possible to assist you. Best regards Pete Emmerson Microsoft Office Specialiast Master Instructor

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
