I have just spent 3 weeks creating a database in access 2003 only to find out
that it should have been in 2000 because that is the version that is
currently being used. (i feel very stupid) is there any way that i can
convert my database down to 2000 without having to start all over again or
will it run even (i havn't tried because i dont have 2000)

Sure. There's a Convert on the Tools menu in A2003.

Actually, unless you changed the settings, A2003 uses the A2000 database
format by default. If you did develop it in 2002/2003 format, just use
Tools... Convert to save it in 2000 format.
