Switching between Access 2000 & 2003

We're a company that handles payroll for another company. We've update to
office 2003 while the other company remains at 2000. Does anyone know if
there's a compatability problem with down loading and up loading? They send
us a portion of the pay (hours) and we do the calculations and return the
files back to them for verafication. Thanks

If you are simply updating the values in the tables, you should not have
problems.

If you are modifying the forms, reports, or code in the database, it would
be a good idea to decompile the database with Access 2000 before they open
it again.

To decompile, make a copy of the database, and enter something like this at
the command prompt while Access is not running. It is all one line, and
include the quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"
