Access 2007 RunTime SP-1... What about back-end DB?

[ARC]

So the long-awaited Access 2007 runtime SP-1 was released a couple days ago.
I think the process will be to load SP1 for your development copy of Office
2007, then recompile your app, download the runtime SP-1, then create
install packages using the new runtime, and newly compiled program files.

Question is, what about the back-end db's that are in access 2007 (non SP1)?
Typically these are not touched when you release new versions of an access
program, unless you're adding fields. I wonder if the back-end database
needs to be upgraded to SP-1, and if so, how? Any thoughts?

Take a look at what was fixed in SP1:

See if there are any factors there that will affect you if you leave the
back end without the SP. None come to mind.
