All of my users are using Access 2007, but I still don't know why I would
convert them.

If you want to use any of the new features introduced in 2007 you'll need to
do so.

What is the benefit of converting my Access 2000 mdb files to the
Access 2007 version?

All of my users are using Access 2007, but I still don't know why
I would convert them.

I can't see any reason to do so.

The only "feature" new to ACCDB (besides the removal of certain
capabilities, like ULS and replication) is the multi-value field. To
me, that exists for two reasons:

1. for compatibility with Sharepoint.

2. to make many-to-many data easy for novices to work with.

You're obviously not a novice, and you're not using Sharepoint, so I
can't see what you'd gain from it.

MDB is a native format in A2007, so there is no performance issue
compared to ACCDB, either.

In short, there really isn't any point in converting.
