this function.

The message "feature in current file format is not supported by early
versions" means that the function you have used will not work in early
versions.

The solution to the problem would seem to be one of the following:

a) Removing the Access 2007 specifici function
b) Finding an alternative function that will work in Access 2007 as well as
Access 2003
c) Not converting the database.

Apasaga,

Further to George's comments, I would say it is a wise approach to always
create/develop a database in the earliest version of Access that you will
want to use it in.

Thanks for the pickup Steve. One of the more obvious suggestions and I
overlooked it.

I, somewhat, disagree. I work on my Granite Fleet Manager in A2003
but create the MDE in A2000. The runtime is in A2003. I still have a
few clients using A2000 so I want to leave it in that format. There
is no pressing reason to use any A2003 specific functionality as any
new functionality was quite limited.

What you describe is actually what I interpreted Steve as meaning --
he said "earliest version of Access" but I read it as "earliest file
format." It's very likely I was reading more into his comment than
was there, but I read it as being exactly what you describe: you use
A2000 format (you couldn't create an A2000 MDE if you weren't using
A2000 format) and develop in A2003. That's exactly how I do all my
work.
