    I have a legacy VB6 application written using Access 97 MDB and DAO that must
    run under Wndows 7 and Access 2007. A few questions:

    1. Can I use DAO with VB6 and win7 with office 2007 installed? If so, what
    version of DAO files should I use, and has it been tested or certified?

    2. Am I better off switching to ADO with Access, and if so, why?  And if so,
    what version? Will this make the conversion more time consuming and expensive
    because we have to modify extensive program code?  

    3.  What combination of VB6, win7, and MS Access does MS recommend when
    office 2007 is installed on machines? And will this combo still work if a
    particular user has upgraded to Office 2010 (before or after my software is
    installed), but I am using/installing Office 2007 jet Access engine
    components?

    4. Do they (MS) have suggestions as to who to look at for text box, grid,
    data control, etc? I'm using Crescent controls and the protoview grid and
    need to know if they are compatible.

    Thanks

    Hi Carl,

     

    Thanks for the post!

     

    Since the different requirement of users, the combination might be different. Meanwhile, your questions are mostly related to the development, as this Windows 7 forum is focused on answering usage-related questions about Windows 7, in order to resolve your problems efficiently, I recommend you ask question in http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/visualbasic, it’s more professional on development.

     

    Thanks for understanding and cooperation!

     

    Best Regards,

    Miya Yao
