Error 3703 -- Operation not supported

I'm developing a VB5 app that draws from several different Access 97 backends. All the A97 databases are replicas, and they synchronize fine from within A97. What I am trying to do is allow users to pull copies of these replicated databases to their local drive, then synchronize them back up to the server when they are finished. The command line is:

Set dbBase=DBEngine.OpenDatabase(localfile)
dbBase.Synchronize srcFile,dbRepImpExpChanges
dbBase.Close

When I run this, though, I get Error 3703, Operation not supported on replicable databases that have not been converted to the current version. This confuses me, since the replicas are from the same Design Masters that I am trying to synchronize.

Any clues or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
 
Figured out (finally) that it was because the VB project referenced the DAO 3.6 object library, while the one that worked referenced the DAO 3.51 library. I am assuming that this has SOMETHING to do with the Jet Engine, and Access 97 uses the 3.51 version, not the 3.6?
 
In case anyone else ever runs into this error, that is the cause. VB app is running fine now.
