Create mde file

[Lei]

I'm using MS Access 2002 to create my simple database
application without coding. One way to create mde file is
through Tools databse Utilities  convert database  To
Access 2002 file format first, then make mde file from
the menu. Is that mean all my application users who need
to access the database need to have MS Access 2002
version installed on their local machine?
What the other ways to create mde file without coding?

Regards!

If you want to use the standard 2000 access format, then you must use Access 2000 to create the mde file. If you convert the database to 2002 and then create a mde file using Access 2002, then only Access 2002 can use the file.

I'm not sure what are the version of my application users
have when they use the front-end database. Do they need
to have Access 2002 installed on their local machine in
order to use the front-end mde file which was converted
from 2002 format?

Thanks!
