Access 97

[J M]

How much would it cost to updrage Access 97 to the lastest
and greatest Access? We want all information in tact. Also
what would be the additional cost of maintenance and
operations of Access?

Hi JM,

As far as I know it's not possible to upgrade Access 97 to the current
version, which is Access 2003; you need to buy the full product (whether
by itself or as part of an Office 2003 package). Check prices with your
local suppliers.

Access 2003 can use databases created with Access 97, so you won't lose
any data. Conversion of other stuff - forms, queries, reports, etc. is
mostly automatic: see

for more information including a toolkit to assist in identifying and
eliminating potential problems with conversion.
