Spitting databases with different versions on the front End

[Essendon]

Hi, I recently split a database for the first time.

I have 3 workstations running Access 2002 (XP), and 2 running 97. The backend was created in Access 2002. The 2 Access 97 front ends won't work with the back end.

Should I just convert the backend to Access97 format and all will be ok? Or is there a better way?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

That would be the easiest way as the later versions of Access can read a 97 database. I have had to do this with 97 & 2000 and found it works OK.
