Did you make use of the Decimal DataType in your 2000 app? That type doesn't
exist in Access 97.

Beyond that you need to be aware that converting backwards like this only
changes the file format. There is nothing that gurantees that the app will
function properly. Just as with the Decimal DataType you could have made use of
any number of features that are not supported in the older version and those
will be broken until you remove them or rewrite them using methods that are
supported in the older version.
