But have you tried it?  I seem to remember issues where if you compile in
XP, trying to run in A2K would cause page faults, requiring a compile in
A2K, then no page faults.  Something about the VB6.DLL entry points differ
between XP and 2K

...seamlessly? ...do you know of any piece of MS software that does anything
"seamlessly"? ...just asking ...know the answer :)

...but short of that, yeah ...you can work with an A2K mdb in XP and it will
maintain its compatibility ...HTH :)
