I have a new client who has asked me to assist in making some changes to a database which was developed in Access 2003. The company is still using 2003 with no plans to upgrade.
My computer is running Access 2013. Can anyone provide advice before I start this project?
I'd like to avoid conversion problems, reference errors, and using functions which are not available in 2003. Also, I believe their last developer (who is unfortunately deceased) distributed the Front-Ends as .mdb files. What is the best way to distribute the front-end especially if I am working in a newer version of Access than the client? The front-end will be loaded on all their salespersons laptops as well as several in-house personnel.
Most of the work I do is for single users and any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
