Splitting Dbase Using MS Access ver 2002 & 2003

[TomP]

We have 2 vers of Access here (2002 & 2003 - eventually everyone will be on
the same version using 2003). I was wondering if/when I split my dbase using
MS Access 2003 could there be problems with end users having the older
version accessing the dbase?

Thank you!

Shouldn't be a problem. 2002 and 2003 both use exactly the same format and
structure of database.

No problem so long as you make the MDE in A2002 and not A2003.
Assuming you're planning on giving the users an MDE.
