I performed a search on my drive for all Access files and databases and
resulted in over 800 hits. Is there a way to sort these results according to
what version of Access they are?
 
Doubtful. Windows goes by registered extensions ".mdb", and so recognizes
the file as belonging to Access. But that is as far as it goes.

If your default version is 2002/2003, you should be able to open any of the
files and Access will tell you what version they are.

For the future, give your databases names that indicate their version. e.g.
I have an old AccountMgr97.mdb which was upgraded to AccountMgr2000.mdb.
