I have developed a database application using Access97 that uses forms, reports, and VBA modules. A client that still runs Office95 wants to purchase a copy of the database application.<br><br>I need to reproduce this application for Access95!!! Does anybody have any tips or conversion software that would allow me to quickly convert the Access97 app to Access95?
 
Access has never been backward compatible. In 2000, you can basically un-convert a 2000 application back to 97, but earlier versions are not. <br><br>I guess what you could try is to copy and paste as many of the objects as will allow (if it will allow) into 95. If it won't let you copy the objects, then at least you should be able to copy and paste the code. Rest assured there will probably be version compatibility errors in your code, as not everything that is available in 97 was available in 95.<br><br>I don't know of any apps that will do it for you. Good Luck<br><br> <p>Jim Lunde<br><a href=mailto:compugeeks@hotmail.com>compugeeks@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= Application Development
