Are there any compatibility issues between Access 2000 and 2003?

I have a database that was created, and is primarily used, in 2000. I have
one machine that has 2003 on it which would be used primarily for data entry
only.

Should I expect to encounter any problems if someone uses the 2003 machine
to enter data into this database?


FYI. All computers are using Windows 2000.

No, there should be no problems doing this.

No problems expected as long as you have the database split into separate
front end and backend databases, and each user has their own local copy of
the frontend. If it's just one db with the tables, forms, etc. then when the
Access 2003 user opens the database, VBA references may get updated to the
Access 2003 versions. A subsequent Access 2000 user might then get an error
because the references would be invalid.
