   I have a VB6 program that uses standard ADO 2.5 connection to read and write   
   to an Access 97 database on a Windows 98 machine. The same program is run by   
   a number of other people who use Windows 98 or 2000 machines. They all   
   connect to a their local copy of the DB with no problems. Occasionally, this   
   database is opened in Access 97 (we all currently use 97) in order to make   
   some manual tweaks here and there.   
      
   But ,I am about to get a new XP machine with Access 2003.   
      
   Q1. Will my VB6 program still work?   
   Q2. Will I be able to open the DB in Access 2003 without upsetting my VB   
   program?   
   Q3. Assuming that Q1 and Q2 are not a problem, can I easily ship the   
   compiled application the uses described above, bearing in mind that their OS   
   and lesser version of Access? I assume that they won't be able to load the   
   database in Access 97 after I've been forced to convert it to 2003, but will   
   the VB application work using the standard ADO 2.5 connection?
