Actually thats not really correct as far as I know. As long as you dont use any of the new SQL 2005 data types they function as before. The new Access data types do actually convert but lose the functionality they have in the new databse file type.

In other words, you won't be able to create databases, tables, views or any other database objects from an ADP against newer versions of SQL. Should be able to read and write older ADP's vs SQL 2005 but I don't know what happens with newer SQL complex and xml datatypes.
