Convert XP to 2003

[PaulJS]

Hi,
We're running an Access 2002 front end (SQL Server back end). The parent
company is migrating to 2003 and I've run some tests on converting the 2002
front end to 2003. When I start the converted database, I get security
warnings on the VBA code that runs in the startup form. (The code is just
setting a few text box values with dates and company info.) I've been
searching MSDN and TechNet for articles on migrating to 2003, but have been
unable to find anything that contains guidelines for converting from 2002 to
2003.

I was hoping to get some help on where I can find some info, perhaps on the
Microsoft web site, that details the changes in 2003 that developers need to
be aware of, especially with security issues. Any help would be appreciated!

Access 2003 didn't introduce any new file format, so there isn't really any
'conversion' for anyone to write about. There is certainly plenty to be said
on the subject of 'macro' security, code signing and digital certificates,
however. Try using those keywords instead, and you'll get plenty of hits -
here's a link to some search results using these keywords - the Smart Access
article is a good starting point for an over-view of the issues. Also check
out the Google newsgroup archives for lots of posts on this issue.

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I've been busy on some other projects.
Thank you very much for the info. I checked the Smart Access article. It's
been very helpful. I'll try the keyword suggestions as well.

Thanks again!
