Open DB in vs 2000 that was created in vs 2003

[Guest]

I have Access vs 2003 at home but vs 2000 at work. I created a database in
vs 2003 but was unable to open it up in vs 2000. Any tips on how I can open
a db in vs 2000 if I created it in 2003? Thanks!

A database created in A2003 can be either A2000 file format or A2002/3 file
format. A2000 software can only open the database if it is in A2000 file
format.

If your database is in A2002/3 file format, you need to convert it to A2000
file format before you can open it with A2000 software. You can convert
using the Menu Tools / Database Utilities / Convert ...

Start Access2003, click menu "Tools->Options...", click "Advanced" tab, set
"Default file format" to "Access2000".
