Yes, get into your database in Access 2000, go to "TOOLS", then "DATABASE UTILITIES", and then to "CONVERT DATABASE", choose " TO A PRIOR ACCESS DATABASE VERSION". Save it to your hard drive somewhere, and send it to your buddie . . . and vuala! (hint -> remember, not all downgraded versions of your database will be exactly the same since Access 2k has some different added features that may not be implemented into Access97 --> just make sure it downgraded ok)

Hope that helps!
