Re: Access 97 AND Access 2000

Access 2000 can happily use (e.g. read and write data) in Access 97
databases, though it can't make design changes (e.g. to tables, forms
and queries). Access 97 predates the Access 2000 database format and
can't use it.

If you split your database, you can have two versions of the front end,
in Access 97 and Access 2000 format. Each of these works perfectly with
with an Access 97-format back end.
