The answer at the moment is that I don't know, as I don't know what other database changes there will be before version 8 final, but there will be other db changes to support a calander and gallery tools I'm probaly will add.

I can't tell from the above posts whether the "upgrade tool" that Borg has on this site converts from Access to mysql, or simply updates the databse with new tables, etc.
 
And one of the posts says "use this tool" to convert, but there is no link. I want to upgrade from Access version 7.01 to the lateset 8 version and switch to mysql. Our server is ready. What do I need to know?

The upgrade tool only upgrades the database you already have, it doesn't convert to a new database type.

There are a number of users who have converted to mySQL from Access.

If you have a look in the version 8 forum some people have posted their experience of converting to mySQL.

You will first need to upgrade your present Access database to version 8.
