DAO and conversion

[Martin]

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with converting a Jet Database 2000 version to
2002-2003?
I have a VB 6.0 program that's using the Jet database by DAO.

You don't need to convert anything. Access 2003/2002 can read a version
2000 just fine (in fact it's the default format in those versions).

The data file for Access 2003 is a Jet 4.0 file,
exactly the same as the Jet 4.0 file used by Access 2000.

The DAO object used for Access 2003 is dbEngine.36,
exactly the same DAO object used for Access 2000.

The Access project (forms, reports, modules) stored
inside that file may be different, (although by default
it is the same) but since you are using VB forms instead
of Access forms, the format of the Access forms doesn't
matter to you.
