Access 2000 - Access 97 - Splitting?

[HB]

Current making a DB in Access 2000. The powers that be now want more people
to have access to it, most of whom have Access 97 rather than 2k. I was
already thinking of splitting the DB, resulting in a front and back end.
I see only 2 routes open to me,
1. Convert whole thing to Access 97 / Start again in Access 97 and everyone
use that.
2. Split the DB and convert the front end to 97, resulting in 2 frontends
and 1 backend.

Anyone had this problem or have any comments please reply, as i'm getting
conflicting views from different people

Cheers!

Hi HB,

Two front ends and one back end is the way to go. Back end should be in
Access 97.
