MS access 2000

[Randy]

I am currently running xp professional with MS Access
2002. My problem is that I'm currently taking a class in
MS Access 2000 and the requirement is that I must use MS
Access 2000 not 2002. I don't want to spend big dollars
on a a version of Access that's not current so what do I
do? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

Access 2002 uses the same file format by default as Access 2000. As long as
you don't change this setting, and avoid using any new features that were
not supported in Access 2000, no one will ever know the difference.

The *default* MDB file format used by AXP is actually A2K file format. If
you haven't changed the default, any database you create will be of A2K file
format and provided that you don't use new features of AXP, you MDB database
file will work fine with either A2K or AXP software.
