Force Save As 2000 Format in Access

[Night Shift]

Hello. We are upgrading from Office 2000 to Office 2007. We are using the
Office Customization Tool to help in this. We have many legacy Access 2000
databases, and will be installing Office 2007 slowly to different groups in
our organization. The customization file does not allow for the admins to set
Access 2007 to set the default Save As format to 2000. It only allows 2007
format or 2002-2003 format. Anyone know how we can force a save as 2000
format programmatically? We cannot rely on our users to do a Save As every
time, and it is impractical to go out an manually set this on each computer.
I have looked everywhere. Thanks.

I don't program but you most certainly can save it as Access 2000.

Office button - Access Options - Popular tab - Default file format

I appreciate the prompt response. However, with 400 machines and over 500
users, it is not practical to do this on every machine manually. I am
guessing this can be done through vb. I'll have to take a programmer out to
lunch on Monday & see what they come up with.
