Access 2007-Sending database files to 2003 user

S

Sherri D.

I am taking an online college course and learning Access. I have purchased
the 2007 version and my teacher has the 2003 version. I know absolutely
nothing about access. I just want to make sure that when I send my files to
her she will be able to view them. Any help is appreciated!!

If the database is in the 2000 or 2002-2003 format ending with .mdb, your
teacher should have no trouble with it.

However if sending them by email, use a program like WinZip on the database
file. This does two things.

1. It makes the file smaller which is nice if someone has a slow internet
connection.

2. Outlook has a bad habit of blocking attachments that end with .mdb.
Converting it to a .zip file gets around this problem.
