Can Access 2003 create Access 97 (to 2003) compatible .MDE?

You can split the back end out and keep it in Access 97.
See help files in app for complete description on how to
do this. Distribute your Access 97 front end out as usual.
Convert a separate copy of the front end to 2003 and
distribute to users on 2003. Both front ends can connect
to the same 97 tables being held in the back end.

I have an Access application that needs to be used by

several people using Access 2003. The same application
(.mde) needs to be used by Access 97 users. Is this
possible? I get "unrecognized format" when I try to open
the app in Access 97.
