Problem editing Access 2000 db in 2002

[EC]

We have a db which we converted from 2000 to 2002 and
then edited a query. It then shutdown Access and left
the .ldb file. Is there a problem editing queries created
in earlier versions of Access?

I assume you mean that Access shut down abnormally (crashed), which is why
it dod not clean up the ldb file as it normally did.

Take a look at:

The article explains that Name AutoCorrect can cause this problem.

Actually it's just one of many caused by this misfeature:
