Today, db made these interesting comments ...
yes, i agree with your statement.To analogize to the real estate biz, backup, backup, backup. iffn
fundementally, the o.p. has been
given a hint from the o.s. that there
is an issue at hand.
the o.p. may find a momentary
resolution.
however, if the database is not
migrated to the newer technology,
the database will crash n burn,
unfortunately.
the o.p. is not without options to prevent
the loss of many years of data, two
of which i provided.
the third is to do nothing, which
there was no need to mention.
I had tons of ultra-valuable data files of any format for any
app, I sure as hell would back them up before trying really old
versions of something on a new O/S. As you'd imagine, I keep
multiple redundant backups of key databases and other hard to
replace files "just in case". And, if I am working on a really
important project where failure is not an option, then I would
save often to different file names to avoid total data loss in
the event of a PC crash or some sort of file corruption.

I also run Office 97 with Win XP Pro, can't comment on
Vista. It was a piece of cake to get it to install on base
XP and it stayed running OK when I upgraded to SP1. But,
when I got a new PC built and installed SP2 on it, it was a
major chore to get Office 97 to install at all. I did manage
it, but I would definitely buy a newer version if I build
another PC. I don't do anything very fancy so the old stuff
works just fine but there's no point trying to spit into a
strong wind with software that old if and when I do build a
new PC with Vista on it.
