Re: Important question abt access 2007 security *8162008

Ok , Great to know,

In a ultimate case where I really need to use one of the new features I
think I can convert my 2003 dbs to MDE files and then convert them to access
2007, this way my forms and reports will be protected from any unwanted
changes and I will be able to make use of the new features, -- right?

Do you guys as MVP'S have any influence or input in the development of the
newer access versions,if yes I hope the ULS will be fully available in the
newer versions again!

Thanks

With Access 2007 you can open and modify mdbs in Access 2000, 2002, 2003 and
2007 database format.

If you try to open an Access 95 or 97 format mdb, you'll be prompted to
convert it to Access 2007 accdb database format (unless you change the
default new database creation format). If you don't convert, you can't make
modifications, but you'll be able to open the db file.

If you try to open an Access 97 mde in *any* version of Access after Access
97, you won't be able to.

It's true that Access 97 has to be converted to a later version database
format before Access 2003 can make design changes. Whoever told you that you
can't modify Access 2000 format in Access 2003 is giving you more
misinformation. Access 2003 can make design changes on Access 2000, 2002 and
2003 database format mdb files.

but can the mdb database be modified in access 2007, or will it only be
possible to open and use but not modify like it was the case in *97 and 2000*
in 2003?
