I have arrived at a site and been thrown this curve ball.

This company have an Access 97 application which
successfully stores hypertext links. A consultancy came
into to try and Xfer all the functionality to SQL 7 (a
financial decision & because it's there!!). The
consultancy's conclusion was for the company to upgrade
SQL from 7 to 2000 in order for hyperlinks to be stored
(or used) successfully. The consultancy did not give a
definite reason for their conclusion & the company person
involved needs a reason why SQL7 is not a viable option.

Anyone out there know why?

I have trawled the KB and searched the web for answers
without success.

Thanks in advance,

Euan.
