Database Version Access 2003 Compatibility
Access 97 If you are currently using a version of Access that is older
than
Access 2000, you must convert your files to Access 2000 before working
with
them in Access 2003.


I have no problems converting Access 97 applications using Access 2003. I
still do most of my work in Access 97, because that's the version we're
still on at the office, but I will often convert the sample applications
using Access 2003 when I need to write about additional features that
weren't available in Access 97.

2.2.1. Identify any special steps / procedures necessary to open Access 97
/
2000 / 2002 MDB files in workgroup mode. Are there restrictions placed on
the MDB when opened in Access 2003 (can't update design, modules that need
recoding)? If one person has a file open are there any conversions /
updates
made to the MDB that would prevent someone from Access 97 / 2000 / 2002
from
using the MDB at the same time.
Access 2003 does not fully support the Access 97 file format. Access 97
files will have to be converted or enabled before working with them in
Access
2003.

This is no different than Access 97 files in Access 2000 or Access 2002 (or
Access 95 files in Access 97, for that matter)
