Opening an Access 2002 Db in Access 2000

[kev747]

Is this possible?
Do I need to load a patch or something, or am i stuck with having to purchase a later version of Office Suite?

Thanks in advance,

Kev.

Hi

A2002 can save files in A2000 format

try first doing that and see if you can open the file in A2000

Thanks for the reply Ken.

My problem is that I have been given a Access 2002 Db, but I'm running Access 97 at work, and Access 2000 at home. Neither are able to open the file.

I take it that there is no way I can open this file without a copy of Access 2002.

If this is the case, I'll have to contact the owner and ask them to save it as a Access 2000 Db. Is this correct?

Kev.
