if the users download a database and they have not been using the latest version, is there way to check the db with its back end and make sure ,users are warned with a message- saying "please open the most current one"?

Not automatically; you must make a provision to do this check yourself. One
way would be to have a table in the backend containing the version number of
your latest version, and another table in the frontend containing that
frontend's own version number; in the Open event of the frontend's startup
form you can compare the one against the other.
But no, there is nothing built in to Access to do this for you.

As John Vinson has stated in an earlier response, you'll have to write code
for this because Access does not automate that functionality for you.
