Check Version

[Brian Corcoran]

Is there a means of telling what version an mdb file is written in? (97,
2000, 2002)

We have a bunch of Access 97 applications what we want to convert to 2002,
but we can't do it all at once, so I'm hoping that there is a way to determine
from the mdb file iteself what version it is, and then run the proper msaccess.exe
to open it.

I have not used this myself, but I believe this utility will do that:
