Hello,

Anyone know why if I have MS Access 2003 installed but all my DBs are in a
Access 2000 file format? I noticed in a 2003 Ms Access book I am missing
stuff 2003 offers.

Thanks!

Access2003 (and 2002 and 2000) defaults to create databases in 2000 format.
There is very little functional difference and I doubt you're missing
anything; but if you wish, you can use Tools... Database Utilities... Convert
Database to save it in 2002/2003 format (there's only one such format for the
two versions).

Heather,

You will be able to open your databases with 2003. However, if you plan to
convert your databases up to 2003 you will not be able to open in 2000.

I cannot coment on what you are missing because you did not specify what
'stuff' is missing.

The 2000 file format is the default file format for Access 2003.

To change a specific database, look under Tools | Database Utilities |
Convert Database on the menu.

To change the default to Access 2003, look on the Advanced tab under Tools |
Options on the menu. (Note that changing the default will NOT convert any of
your existing databases)
