Old Version Of Access Application Used To Create Database and Forms but Can’t Open in Newest Version
Karl_Donaubauer Thank you for the reply. Since I am not the original designer and there are several hundred, if not thousands of individual components inside of it this is a great place to start and I will look into this for sure.
If it happens that every component has one or both missing files then would you say it’s best to just rebuild it from scratch?
Hi,
It depends on how large the contribution of the affected components to the application is, whether they can be replaced by other objects/methods and with how much effort. In addition, other aspects play a role with the topic update or rewrite. How outdated is the application in different regard, how well maintainably it is provided, how are the available developer resources, which are the goals etc. etc.
In other words, this can only be judged by someone who knows the application and the circumstances better than us fellow readers here in a forum.
Servus
