Access 2003 for Runtime App

Thank you. I have lots of 2003 experience and NO 2007. Saw an earlier Post
which inferred a 2003 App should run OK in 2007 runtime..not true??

TIA - Bob

It might run with no problems in Access 2007 but don't count on it. The more
code and more complex the db app is, the more likely something has to be
tweaked to make an Access 2003 app run in Access 2007. Always test it before
springing it on your customers.

Fortunately Access 2003 and Access 2007 are enough alike that there's not
much you have to work on even if you need to make version compatibility
changes.
