A basic forms question
Hi, A user aksed me (a DBA) the question below about forms: <<>> I never use forms so do not know the answer. It seems that the user was using a newer version of forms to open an a form created in an old version. For Forms do you need to upgrade old forms when you upgrade the forms software? Also pls answer the Access question if you can. Much appreciated. Many thanks.
