Converting files from 2003 to 2007

[G]

I am having a host of problems converting my client's old 2003 access files
into 2007. Is there something special we should be doing in order for them to
work properly or is the new Access 2007 too advanced to a smooth transition.
Simply saving as a 2007 database isn't doing the trick.

For instance- one of my clients is getting conversion errors with the
message "missing VBE reference to the file 'UTILITY.MDA'. Any way to fix
this?

Thanks in advance,

G

Hi
in general Access 2003 db should just run in 2007. Of course you need to
deliver all libraries you are using. If you not sure that you are using
'UTILITY.MDA' - then remove reference to it and compile project.

Thanks for the response..but I am unsure how to deliver all my libraries? Is
that done through the Tools/Reference option?

Hi,
there are 3 default libraries, that are used in any access app - Access, VBA
and DAO (or ADO)
if you have anything else in Tools-references - then either uncheck them, or
if you sure you using some library selected there - you have to either
install it on client PC or find alternative for Access 2007

Thank you. I'll get with my client to ensure he only has checked what he
needs. Thank you again for your quick response back.
