Author question concerning access xp app on access 2003

We currently have Access 2002 which hosts a jet connected ODBC front end
file for our custom database/application. (back end is SQL Server 2000). The
app is written in all classic DAO code. ADO is not used. I intend on
installing Office 2003 on a number of user's machines and need to find out
if our application will run ok in Access 2003. Obviously we will need to
test things before deploying but I wanted to put this post out here anyway
to get any feedback on known issues etc...

You're unlikely to have any great problems. Access 2003 does not introduce
any new file format. Like Access 2002, Access 2003 uses Access 2000 format
by default, or you can use the optional new format that was introduced in
Access 2002, and which in Microsoft's documentation is now referred to as
'Access 2002/2003 format'.

The use of DAO is not a problem. Not only is DAO still supported in Access
2003, but Microsoft have re-instated the default reference to the DAO object
library in new MDBs created using Access 2003.
