I was going to post about that. From what I understand, the big change was 97 to 2000. 2000 and up has the ability of using the '2000' format, so you should be able to make a 2000 format mde that could be used in 2000, XP and 2003. But I don't have the later versions to try that on.

I' was just handed a new one yesterday to do some work on: Natural Keys, Fieldnames "Date" and 'Name" as well as included spaces, tables not normalised, macros galore etc, etc. And this one was apparently built for a government entity by an AusAID consultant! -- Stuart -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
