No such thing as access vista but 2007 may be what you are thinking of. If so, it depends on how your database is designed. If you have a lot of home made menus I would convert a copy and play with it for a while and see how it works. First don't use live data until you have done some testing and then make sure you have good backups...good backups! Read Allen Browne's site http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html#Bugs very carefully. Almost all conversions change the default settings and appearance so testing is important. Default settings in 2007 may make your app run slow so again read Allen's info, such as autocorrect. Once you have played and setup the database settings for best performance you will probally have some minor problems but I have converted many and only real problem I've had is filters. About the time Access 2022 comes out I should figure those out on my own or maybe read the solution here before then. Also FileSearch is gone so if your app uses that you'll have to replace it.
