2002 to 97 or other options?

[Rebecca]

I have done a conversion of a 2002 access database to a 97. How can I view
the 97 version if I am running 2002. To make sure everything works in it?

Is there any other options I could do to have the database open in any
version of access? I design a database with our membership information on
it and then mail a copy of it on CD to the Board Members. I need the
easiest way for them to view it (I found out last year they are not very
computer literate)
It contains 9 tables, 3 queries, 12 macros and some tables. All were made
with the design feature, I do not know vb.

Any thoughts.. ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

ANS: You can open a 97 database with 2002. Be sure to select open. You can
not make any changes to the 97 version while in 2002. You can only add data.

Is there any other options I could do to have the database open in any
version of access?

ANS: As long as the version of Access used is 97 or above anyone can open
your database. Be sure to send instructions on how to just open the database
and inform them never to select 'convert'.

ANS: Again, they need Access 97 or higher to open the database. Send them
step by step instruction on how to get the info they need.
