Conversion from Access 2003

[Guest]

From MSO Access 2003 can I convert back to 2002, 2000, and 97?
The apps are simple. Thanks.

The Convert to Previous version has 97 and 2000. 2002 is not an option (on mine at least) It shows 2002 - 2003 as one option and is blanked out if I use a 2003 file.

There's no real difference between the Access 2002 and Access 2003 formats.

Note when you're converting that if you're using features of Access 2003
that aren't available in previous versions, the converted application will
require modifications.

There may be no difference in the 2002 / 2003 formats but the Packaging Wizard for XP Developer does not recognise the mdb file if it is built with 2003. SageKey MSI 2002 wizard has the same result. Then again maybe this is just my machine. Or more likely me . Thank you for the clarification of the formats.
