Office 2007 and Access 2003

I created a number of databases written in Access 2003. The databases are
located on a shared drive where some PCs that are accessing that shared drive
are running Office 2003 and other PCs are running Office 2007. The PCs that
are running Office 2007 can open the Access 2003 database but are not able to
access any of the data in the database. Does the databases written in Access
2003 have to be upgraded to Access 2007 in order for those PCs running Office
2007 to be able to access them or is there another solution? Thanks.

There should be no problem with Access 2007 reading data from Access 2003
databases.

What exactly happens when you try? Do you get an error? If so, what's the
error message?

Hello,
I have the same problem. I created database in Access 2003 (it is located on
shared drive), but some people in my office have Access 2007. And they can't
open database. In fact, they open it, they see the forms, but they can't
click on any button, because nothing's happen. And, they didn't get any error
message!
We don't know what is the problem?!
