2002 .mde work with 2k?

[Ken]

I've got a 2000 .mdb that needs to become an .mde. But
I've got Access 2002, and 2002 will not turn a 2000 .mdb
into an .mde. According to the KB, any .mdb database must
be in the format of your installed version to be turned
into an .mde.

Question: I know Access 2000 and 2002 are the same at
their core. But if I pull the .mdb into 2002 format, then
make it a 2002 .mde, will a user with Access 2000 still
be able to use it?

Thanks...

By the way, all code is written in DAO. Thanks.

No, Ken, whether it's an MDE or MDB file, Access 2000 cannot open/run an
Access 2002 database.

No, they won't. If you must have an MDE file, you're going to have to try
and find a copy of Access 2000.
