SUMMARY
Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0 has many enhancements, such as 32-bit architecture, Visual Basic for Applications, the Microsoft Jet database engine version 3.0, and a modified data access objects (DAO) model. Because of these changes, you may experience some incompatibilities in databases created with previous versions of Microsoft Access. This article lists sources of information about conversion and compatibility issues.



MORE INFORMATION
The most comprehensive source of information about converting databases to Microsoft Access 7.0 is the Help topic "Conversion and Compatibility Issues." The Help topic lists the following nine subtopics, which you can jump to automatically:


 * Converting Access Basic Code to Visual Basic
 * Converting Code That Calls a DLL
 * Converting Libraries and Add-ins
 * Converting Microsoft Access Tables, Forms, and Reports
 * Converting SendKeys Key Combinations
 * DAO Object Library Compatibility
 * Macro Actions and Methods of DoCmd Object
 * New Style for Intrinsic Constants
 * Scoping and Object Naming Compatibility

To find the "Conversion and Compatibility Issues" Help topic, search for "conversion and compatibility" using the Answer Wizard from the Microsoft Access for Windows 95 Help menu.

For information similar to the "Conversion and Compatibility" Help topic, please see Microsoft Access "Building Applications with Microsoft Access for Windows 95," version 7.0, Appendix A, "Converting or Using Applications Created in Previous Versions," pages 437-451.
