Can I use Access 2000 templates in my Access 2002 program?

[Guest]

I would like to inventory my video collection, photograph collection, etc.
However, all the templates are for Access 2000 only. I cannot find any such
templates for Access 2002. Can I use Access 2000 templates in my Access 2002
program; and if so, how?

Yes, simply convert the A2000 database to A2002. Tools > Database Utilities

Convert Database

In actual fact, the default file format for Access 2002 is the Access 2000
format, so you should have no problem. (This is true of Access 2003 as well)

Yes. Just use them.

Access 2002 actually defaults to using databases in Access2000 format.
You can convert to 2002 format if you wish but it's not essential to
do so.
