I have a Access 97 DB running on a server at work. I have not made it "read only" because I don't like the window that pops up telling the user that the file is "Read Only". Some users have Office 2k or XP. Is their anyway for me to keep these users from converting my DB to the newer format other than making it read only?

Adding to BSman's last comments, you should be able to speed up access to UNC-attached tables by adding the UNC path to your network neighborhood. This will mean that Windows then caches the security information - the main reason for delay.
