We have an old app that is in based on Access 97.
We need to replace the server ASAP. Will Access 97 run on
Server 2003?
Thanks.

NetBIOS and Windows file systems include native support
for the MSDOS database semantics used by Access/Jet.
There is no need to install Access 97 on the server,
only on the client workstations.

Assuming you really mean place the backend MDB on the server and not
install A97 on the server consider the following.

If you start having corruptions as soon as you move to the new server
it's likely the OpLocks problem. Corrupt Microsoft Access MDB Causes
