I have Microsoft Access 200 and I have homework that is
in Access 2002. How can I do the homework because it
won't open because is does not recognize the format?

Access 2000 cannot open or read a database which was saved in Access
2002 format. Bear in mind - Access 2002 DID NOT EXIST when Access 2000
was written; the programmers had no way to know what changes would be
made two years in the future!

The solution is to open the database in Access 2002 and select
Tools... Convert... Save as Previous Version to convert the database
to 2000 format. Access 2002 can work with either version (though 2000
can only work with the one).
