It happens the first time you open an A97 database in A2000, and not
thereafter. Therefore, the message automatically disappears after the first
open.

Of course, if you distribute a new A97 database, it happens all over again.

Usually, it is better to convert your A97 app to A2000, and distribute the
A2000 version to those who need it. At the very least, your A97 running in
A2000 is probably decompiled (which makes startup a bit slower whilst it
compiles for each "run"). But if it works, that's OK too.

Well, trying to open it in A97 sounds like a good way to me!
