Click to expand...

Tools -> Database Utilities -> Convert Database... -> To Access 97 File
Format...

Be aware that features of Access 2002 that aren't supported in Access 97
won't work in the converted database.

You either need to save as a previous version whilst at school, this will
give you an option to save as Access 97 format, you may lose some features,
or upgrade your computer at home to Access 2000 (as long as the database is
in 2000 format), 2002, 2003.

The only problem i can see is that i do not have access 2002 here with me and
it needs to be done by tomorrow!! Is there anything else you can suggest?
