I have an access 2002 mde application (with a lot of vba code) that runs on a server. The mde application links to an mdb backend database. Some users have Office 2002 and others Office 2010. A few (but not all) users on 2010 are getting a variety of non-fatal errors that I can't resolve.

I would like to keep the mde application for the 2002 users and create an accde copy for the 2010 users (hoping this will resolve the errors). Will all users be able to link to the same .mdb database?
 
No reason why not if that is the only difference. An .mde front end will not link to an .accde back end but that is not what you are trying to do!

As to whether it will solve your problem, possibly not. 2010 is more stringent in the application of rules (search the web for differences between access 2003 and 2010 or try 2007 first). So may be worth you posting some of these errors you are getting - explaining the background.
