Covert Problem

[Samuel]

Hi

I converted a database back from Access 2002 to Access 2000 and the database
behaves very strangely

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Samuel

Could you tell us a little more on what you think is strange? By doing so we
can take a look at the actual problem. Now we have to guess as what might be
strange.

Yes, I suggest you tell us in what manner it "behaves very strangely". That
is, the behavior you expect, the behavior you are seeing, the exact text of
any error message, and the conditions under which the error occurs.

There are a number of things which could be described by that phrase, and
without details, we'd only be guessing. My initial guess would be that you
used some new features of Access 2002 that don't exist in Access 2000 and,
thus, they aren't working -- that would be a common "problem" on backward
compatibility.

I would suggest that you try de-compiling the database.

then while in code, do a debug-compile.

Further, do the above on the a2000 machine.....

How to de-compile is here:

if you don't want to make shortcuts, then
you can use the following:

make sure you edit the above with notepad to the correct version of
ms-access.
