Access 2003 and Windows Vista

[Deb]

Am developing an Access database for use on computers currently running
Windows XP. The computer I'm using has Windows Vista. Has anyone had any
issues running or developing in 2003 in a Vista environment but ultimately to
be run on Windows XP?

Should be fine.

There are possible issues if you are using exotic library references other
than the basic ones in Access (VBA, Access, DAO, etc), or if you are using
hard-coded paths (such as C:\Users\...), or if one is 64-bit, but in general
it works just fine.

Thank you, Allen. I fired the original message off prior to extensively
searching the answered questions. I've had an enormous amount of problems,
and finally have the answers I've been looking for on this forum. I had been
trying to develop in 2003 with 2007 loaded on the same computer, and
discovered that is not the way to go (learned on this forum as well), and I
see your name come up a lot. I think I'm on the right track now, but I know
where to go for the answers I need.

Many thanks!!
