You're really better off leaving it "as is". The 2000 file format default is
by design...allowing compatibility between 2000, 2002, 2003. The only time
it makes sense to convert a database to 2003 is if the database has code
that uses 2003 functionality.
If you are dead set on making problems for yourself, you'd need to modify
the registry for every user....which you can't do in an MST anyway.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Settings]
"Default File Format"=dword:0000000a
