Access 2002 on Office 2007?

[ispstan]

Our database was written on Access 2002 and when I open it on a new computer
with Office Pro 2007 it won't recognize some of the functionality of Access
2002. Is there an Access 2002 I can install on top of 07 so I can read the
db; or do I need to uninstall Office Pro 07 and install our older version of
Office?

There is no compatability pack for Access, only for Word, Excel, Powerpoint
etc.

You can however use the 2007 feature to "save as" a 2000, or a 2002/2003
compatable file

Tom, Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that.

You could also modify your db code to be 2007 compatible, which is what I
did when I went from 2000 to 2003
