Database A97, User A97, Server A2003

[Mauricio Silva]

I know, I know, people will say: "What a mess!" but that is how it is.

We have a BackEnd/FrontEnd application running in A97 that will be upgraded
to A2000 very soon. The thing is, the last weekend, the SERVER where we keep
the backend database was upgraded to A2003 (the actual database files was not
touched) and since then, some run-time errors have happened.

I can't tell for sure, if somebody connected to the database from the server
(I thing so).

Is there any chance of this version difference be causing poblems in our
application? I know there are a few things we have to look when converting
the database, but in this case, the database itself was not converted, so I
thing it shouldn't be a problem.

Any help, please?

P.S. At the end of the process, the final users will have A2000 in their
machines

That should have exactly zero effect on your app. Your server is "serving a
file". What programs happen to be installed on the server are completely
irrelevent other than services like Anti-Virus programs that might be
interfering with the "file serving" aspect.
