Save 2000 as 97?

[Raven]

Can anyone advise if it is possible to save a 2000 dbase as a 97 version?

I have created a dbase using 2000 on my work's network and I want to open this dbase on a laptop which only has 97 on it. It's not my laptop otherwise I would do the obvious and upgrade it to 2000!

You cannot save as a 97 version.

You can convert down to 97 but may loose features that are only available in 2000.

Convert down?

How do I 'convert down to 97' ?

 

[Robert Dunstan]

Go to Tools Menu ---> Database Utilities ----> Convert Database ---> To Access 97 File Format

This is where it is in Access 2002 and I'm sure it's the same for A2K

Thanks that was very helpful - I've converted down, but your are right I've lost features

Getting a "Compile error: Method or data member not found".

This is becoming a lot of effort for what should be a simple task.

I think I'll use my friends laptop and give up!
