How 2 use a 2000 access file in the 97 version

Unfortunately,
like most of us out here I have remained far ahead of my
organization relating to the versions of applications I
use on my home PC. I have created a table and forms on
2000. The problem I have recently encountered is
importing a 2000 Access table with forms into Access
1997. I am not sure this can be done but thought I would
ask. I receive the following error message when I try to
launch or open the 2000 file: Unrecognized database
format 'E:\Scottsdale DB\tbllawfirm.mdb'. Any suggestions?
