Exporting to Access 2000

[Chris Elders]

How do I export an Access 2002 DB to 2000? When I try and
export the 2000 option is grayed out and only 97 and 2002
are available. I'm using 2002 SP-2.

Thanks,
Chris

Just a guess, Chris ...

The Access 2000 file format is the default file format for databases created
using Access 2002. So, since the Access 2000 option is greyed out, I'm
guessing that your database is already in the 2000 file format. Unless you
have used some 2002-specific code or function, your database should open and
run ok in Access 2000.

To check this, open Tools|Options and click the 'Advanced' tab. In the
upper right corner, there is a combo box that allows you to change the
default file format for new databases. If it says Access 2000, then your
db does not need to be converted; it's already in the format you want.

hth,
