Why does Access 2003 tell me that my .mdb window is 2000 format?

I recently purchased M. S. Office 2003 Professional Upgrade and installed
same. Now, for the first time, I am using Access 2003. Can anyone tell me
why, when the *.mdb little database window opens, in the title bar it says,
(ACCESS 2000 FILE FORMAT)? My Access 2003 verson is 11.6566.8036) Sp 2
Thank you

To maximize inter-version compatibility, both Access 2002 and Access 2003
use the Access 2000 file format.

If you wish to change it, you can convert (under Tools | Database
Utilities). You can also change the default permanently (Under Tools |
Options)

Hi Douglas: Even so I have not tried to act on your recommendation, I thank
you very much for your help. I will do it tomorrow.
