Access 2002 - 2003 file format vs. Access 2000 file format
I am using Access 2003. When I create a new database, Access creates in
Access 2000 file format. My question a 1. Why Access creates in the 2000 file format, not the 2002-2003 file format? 2. Why would I want to create my database in the 2000 file format, not the 2002-2003 file format or vice versa? Advantages & disvantages? 3. Other Suggestions? Thanks. |

Access 2002 - 2003 file format vs. Access 2000 file format
Since all 3 of Access 2000, Access 2002 and Access 2003 can read the Access
2000 format, that's the default in both Access 2002 and Access 2003: it maximizes the usability of the database. However, to make an MDE, you must convert to the "native" file format: neither Access 2002 nor Access 2003 can create an MDE from a database in Access 2000 format. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "AccessHelp" wrote in message ...
