Converting from 97 to 2000
Hello,
I have an existing database in 97 version that was split into front and back end with security in place. Now that all users have 2000 version and I am in the process of modifying the database also. I want to convert to 2000 version, hence have several questions. The thing is while I converted to 2000 and working on modifying the front and back end, users continue entering data in the 97 version. Once I am done with the 2000 version modification, how do I update the data in the BE from 97 version to my 2000 version before I distribute out to users? Thanks |

Assuming you didn't need to make any changes to the back end, just make sure
everyone is offline and convert the current version of the back end to A2K at the time you replace the A97 fe with the A2K fe. "Cam" wrote in message ...

Hi Pat,
Unfortunately, I had to make some changes to the back end also.

Then there's no easy way. Either make the same changes to the production
be. Or empty the modified be of data and import the data from the production be. In any case, this will take some time. Schedule this time with the users so they know the application will be unavailable. If the databases are in their own directory, I would rename the directory, just to make sure that no one can open the fe or be while you're working on it. If the changes (and testing) are going to take more than a half hour, it would be best to make the change in the evening or over the week end. "Cam" wrote in message ...
