Access 2003 MDE question

[ChuckCasey]

I have several databases (Access2002) that people connect through from .mde files. Over the weekend, the technology staff upgraded some of the computers, including the one where the databases are stored to Office 2003. I edited two databases and created new .mde files. Now, anyone running Access2002 gets an error when clicking on the new .mde files that the database is in an unrecognized format. The Access 2003 users can access them without a problem. The Access 2002 users don't get a message when they access the .mdb file directly , just the .mde. I don't want to give them access to the .mdb file. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks.

Seems that the ac2002 users should have a 2002 version of the MDEs ...

Hope This Helps, PH.

I appreciate the quick response. Many thanks. I'm very much a newbie at this. Could I impose on you to tell me how to create a 2002 version of the MDE's? Thanks.

With ac2002 and a 2002 version of the mdb to convert to mde.
You should compile without error before converting a mdb to mde.
