runtime xp problem

[Daniel]

Hi,
I just upgraded my IDE to Access 2003.
My customers have XP runtime installed.

As I know - the file format for ADP\ADE didn't change. But when I create an
ADE with 2003 I cant open it using XP runtime. I get the "Unrecognized
database formt" messeage.

When I open the same file using Access XP and create the ADE file - all
works OK.

Any ideas anyone ?

The binary format is different with A2002 and A2003.

As a result, an MDE/ADE created with A2003 cannot be used by any earlier
version.
