2003/2007 compatibility

[orajat]

hi,

i have a db file in 2003 office version, after creating the user logon and password throuhg the wizard, it opts for creating a shortcut. when i try and open the file through that shortcut in 2007 office version, it gives me a link not available error. the reason why i want it to open it in 2007 is that with multiple users...some have 2003 and some have 2007. How/ what do i do so that i can logon with both versions without creating the whole db file in 2007.

thnx

The two Access versions are not in the same directory location.

so, there's no way? or maybe if i have 2 different shortcuts, 1 for 2003 and 1 for 2007...is that possible, then the sourcefile will be different for both?

[RuralGuy]

Both versions of Access can run the same source file.

[orajat]

then how do i do it...plz help.....

[RuralGuy]

How about your 2 different shortcut idea?

[RuralGuy]

Are your files saved as mdb instead of accdb?

[orajat]

[RuralGuy]

I'll repeat the question:

Are your files saved as mdb instead of accdb?

[orajat]

yes...that's right...should i change them ?

[RuralGuy]

What is the results when running accver with these files.
