ADE 2000 --> diff versions

[john celery]

While reading Access help I found the following, and was
wondering if I got it right:

Quote:
"
Caution You won't be able to open, convert, or run code
in a Microsoft Access 2000 ADE file in future versions of
Microsoft Access. The only way to convert a Microsoft
Access 2000 ADE file to a future version will be to open
the original Access project the ADE file was created from,
convert it, and then save the converted Access project as
an ADE file.
"

So if I've developed an ADE file in Access 2000, would my
clients who run Access XP be able to use it ? It sounds
like the wouldn't. But they would be able to use the ADP
file, correct ?

John,

The ADE is the compiled version of the ADP. If you maintain a copy of the
ADP (which you or someone else should) you can convert it to the next
version of Access. I would suggest converting, then testing, then deploying
for the new version. I have never found the task of moving from one version
to the next to be entirely smooth, particularly if there is a lot of code.
