 | | When the Local Government Association of South Australia went to upgrade to Microsoft Office XP, it was discovered that mission-critical Microsoft Access 97 database applications would not run on Access XP. |
 | | While testing the migration of the LGA's files, IT consultants, Terra Electronics, found that some could be upgraded easily, while others with custom Visual Basic code, reported a mixture of compilation errors, VBA object library errors and run time errors. |
 | | Both Terra Electronics and the LGA will use ConverterTechnology products and services in future as Microsoft Office moves onto the.NET framework, and are considering upgrading the LGA database from Access to SQL using ConverterTechnology's capabilities in this area. |
