Hello,

the matter is simple. I want to upgrade Office 2000 documents off all
sorts (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access) to Office 2003. All documents
contain VBA code.

I know that Office 2000 and 2003 share the same document format, but my
main problem is the VBA code. I was told that there were about 80
issues when upgrading and I should look in Microsoft Technet to get the
list.
I'm either blind or stupid, but I can't find it!

Is the information freely available or do I need commercial support? If
yes, were can I obtain this support? Or do I need MSDN access?
On one site Office Developer Edition was mentioned and a link was
provided. But - as you may have already guessed - I couldn't find the
info I needed.

I'd really appreciate any kind hints in the right direction :-)

Have a nice day!

Mathias

Just an observation; when I upgraded an Access2k containing vba to
Access2003 I recollect I only had minor issues.
I did run both versions of Access, my data critical app, untill I was sure
the 2003 version was functioning correctly.

First off, thanks for your reply :-)

What kind of "minor" issues did you experience?

A list of such issues would be great, I'm searching the knowledge base
right now but results are not all that great. There just has to be some
list like "don't use function X, use Y instead"...

Regretably I did this a loooong time ago, as I recollect it was just some
minor issues with a few lines of vba coding. Rectifying was a simple
process.
My db only contains some 15 modules, the primary having some 300 lines.
Also it shouldnt be a problem to install Access 2003 alongside A2k then use
a copy of the A2k db to convert to 2003 and test, thats what I did.
