[AccessD] A97 BE with A2k3 FE

...I've been very pleasantly surprised at A2K3's compatibility with older 
versions ...I just yesterday installed a pretty good sized app on a client's 
A2K2 runtime that had been fully developed in A2K3 ...I expected to at least 
have to change some references to the treeview ocx, etc ...but it ran 
without a hitch :)

...and I'm developing/testing an A2K3 fe against a copy of a client's A97 
secured be ...so far it takes to it like a duck takes to water.
