I'm setting up a new business relationship with a company in Portugal. They
use Access 2003. I have just bought MS Office Professional 2007 (with Access
2007). Our plan is that they will send, once a month or so, their Access db
then we will update and add to that db and then return it after another month
or so. There probably won't be a lot of updates on our end so the monthly
cycle should work. After they synchronize, they will send a new version of
the db and we will start over.
My goal is to keep everything as simple as possible partially because I
don't know how skillful they are and it's been several years since I've
worked with Access but I am quite familiar with CRM applications like this.
I want to avoid pitfalls and complications and so I need guidance on the
best and simpleist approach. The MS support team says that the Portuguese
version of Access will not be a problem and the online support info
indicates, that at our end, we should open the Access 2003 db when we get it,
and then save it as a 2003 db and then work on it. Then we will return it to
our partners so they can "synch" with our updated" relplica.
I've read the message forums on this topic and even though our approach is
very basic, I'm aprehensive that our partners will experience complications
that will be difficult to resolve. I say this because I know how complex
"synchronization" can be and the forum questions and answers re-emphasize the
difficulties. Also, Ididn't see any questions addressing synchronization
between Access 2007 and Access 2003.
I will appreciate and advice you can offer.
Thanks ,
Bill
