Help! 'Invalid File Name' Error

[Ann]

I have a big problem. I created a database in Access2000,
I made some changes to it in Access2002. Now when users
try to open the forms they are getting errors when they
try to open the forms in form view, but when they open the
forms in disign view they are able to open them.

Does anyone know what causes this and if there is fix?
What problems are there with users having different
versions of Access and working with the same database? Are
we looking for trouble?

Thanks,

Making changes in different versions (as long as they are in the same
format) should be OK if you have all the Service Packs installed. This is a
particular problem:

Needless to say, make sure you have adequate backups BEFORE you start making
changes.
