Backward Upgrade

Is there any reason why I couldn't take an Access 2002 or 2003 database back
to Access 2000? We use a lot of DAO and ADODB code, and import/export csv
files quite frequently. Thanks

You sure you need to? The reason I ask is that the default file format for
both Access 2002 and Access 2003 is the Access 2000 format. Unless you've
actually converted to the newer file format, you may not have to do any
conversion.

OK, is there an easy way to tell whether we are using the Access 2000 file
format?

The Database Window should say what format it is.

As well, if you select Tools | Database Utilties | Convert Database from the
menu, the "To Access 2000 File Format" will be disabled if it's in 2000
format, and enabled if it isn't.
