Access 2000 <--> 2007 compatibility

[Kjell Rilbe]

Hi,

We have a DB for data collection/telemarketing with a form and some VB
code. This one is created in Access 2000.

Can Access 2007 users open and work with this DB without causing
problems if it later has to be operated on using Access 2000?

Anything special we should do to avoid problems in this mixed version
environment?

Access 2007 can open, use, and modify a database in A2000 format.

As always, if you have several users in the database at once, it's a good
idea to split it:

If you are switching back and forth between versions, a decompile and
compact would be worthwhile.

For other suggestions on how to adapt to the new version, and some
compatibility differences, see:
