Issue we have found, running 5 instances of Access 97 can bury a server.

Efficient from the aspect of the guys who run the servers, but from the guys
who are making DB's and using Access heavily, 97 is much quicker.

 

As for running 2 versions, it's easy to do when your talking Access97. You
need to install it after 2003 and then change the MDB associates back to
2003 as you please.

I have decided not to install 97 on my servers for the 3 users that need it,
but I have the option of letting them still run it on their desktops becaue
they are fat clients.

Thanks.

 

If I had a choice, it would be ONLY be Access 2003, as it is MUCH more
efficient than 97.

Don't think so - Server to Client is only for URLs 

 

I suppose you could publish the content. This isn't pretty mind - easier to
live with the Access on the server. 

 

If you're concerned about running different versions of Access on a single
box do some searches through Rick's posts  - -he's described some neat
methods of getting multiple versions of access running on the same server
for users.

I have an application that pulls MDB's.  Rather than have Access (97 is
required) on the server, I would like to use content redirection so that if
an MDB is encountered, it attempts to open with the local install of Access
on the client machine.  Is this possible?
