Opening File in Office 97 vs 2000

[Moonman]

I have created a file in Office 97 and put it out on a server. Those in my group who have Office 97, have no problem accessing the file. Others that are running Office 2000 are unable to access the file. Access opens and the gives the option to open or convert the file. When the open option is selected and then nothing happens. I have also tried to convert to 2000 format, and still nothing happens.
