Default Access 2007 lookup tables for 2003 users

Is there a way to create lookup tables , as in the table analyser in Access
2007, for access 2003 mdb database?
I used table analyser on my accdb file to create more tables with
relationships, but this method won't work on a mdb file, so Access 2007
tells me.

Thanks

Access 2003 doesn't "know about" Access 2007.

If you want an idea, though about how you could design in Access 2003, use
the Access 2007 format and import the data from 2003, run the analyzer, and
note the suggestions. Then you'd go back to the A03 version and "manually"
create those.

Default Access 2007 lookup tables for 2003 users

Hi Jeff,
so if I loaded the database up in Access 2003 and used the table analyser
from there, that would do the same as it does in Access 2007, but would the
database still run in 2007 after running the analyser in 2003?

Thanks

We're not there. We don't know how your db is set up.

Generally, Access 2007 can run Access 2003 dbs, but not the reverse.

Default Access 2007 lookup tables for 2003 users

Hi Jeff,
my database was created in Access 2007 and is made up of 9 tables
as well as a Swtchboard, which I have customised to use? the 9 forms from
the tables and querries.
I'm not sure what you mean about not being there.

Thanks

I mean that unless you describe enough detail about what you are working
with, we can only guess...
