[AccessD] Database Conversion in VBA

We need to examine a datafile in code and convert it if it is in 2002
format.  Our users don't see the menu to do this, and we couldn't safely
leave it to them anyhow.  There are no constants except
acCmdConvertDatabase, and the only code I've seen used SendKeys to run
that in A2k.  Since 2002 has 3 formats for conversion and we wouldn't be
running this in the current database, it becomes problematic.

Is there something wrong with doing it in the menu? Do you need to do it
programmatically? If so, there must be constants that you can pass in to
DoCmd that will achieve same. Never had the need to do it yet but what's
wrong with the menu options themselves?

Just asking

Has anyone succeeded in converting a database from 2002 to 2000 format
in code?  No matter what I try, I only trigger the conversion dialog
without successfully passing in the arguments it needs.  What I'm
looking for is 2002 code that will specify a database file and convert
that file to 2000 format.
