Database in unrecognized format

[gguy]

I created an application using Access 2002 (Office XP) on a PC running Windows 2000. The application resides on the server and is used or viewed by several people from time to time.

One user, that only views the data, has a PC with Windows 2000 and Office 2000. This user has been into the Database on several occasions without any problems.

On Thursday, the main user and entry person got a new PC with Windows XP and Office XP. On Friday that person entered some data and saved their work. Today (the following Tuesday) the user with Access 2000 could not get into the database and received the error "This database is in an unrecognized format".

I have check in Advanced under the Options tab and the default format is Access 2000.

Is there a solution to this besides upgrading the Office Package?

Thanks, GGuy

no with the current setup. You can split the db into a front end and back end and create a seperate front end for each person using the DB and have their respective version on their own machine
