Prevent user from converting database.

I have a Microsoft Access database in 2003. Some of the user have to use it
in 2003 but some will have 2007 on their PC's. We don't want the user with
2007 to convert it when they open it. Can we lock them from doing that?

Create an mde and deliver that instead of the mdb. Also, set the startup
options to hide the database window. They can't make changes to an mde.

Is this database split into the front end and the back end?
Usually, it doesn't matter so much what the users do with their front ends,
as long as they don't break. It's the back end, that has to be shared, that
you don't want people changing.
