Access---problem

[tigge1r]

I have the older version of access (97) at home---and at
work we have the access 2000---my problem is I have a
program that I made at work on access 2000 and I brought
it home and tried it on access 97 and it will not open
My question is do you need to upgrade the 97 to work or
is there a way to open it in 97...
At this time I don't feel like buying the newer version--
and spending more money.

And on my labtop I have the windows XP but no Access to
open it(plus that will cost lots of money to get office
2003)just to use access..
Please help

In the office, you can convert of *copy* to prior Access version using the
Menu Tools / Database Utilities / Convert Database / To Access 97 File
Format ... and take the converted copy home.

For the laptop, you need Access software.
