Access 2007 and 2003

When saving a 2007 Access database in 2003 format what aspects will be lost and what constraints are there to ensure clients with the 2003 version will see the database and all of the information contained within?

RE: Access 2007 and 2003

Dear Sophie

Thank you for attending Access 2007 Introduction course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.


Mnay of teh features that you use in Access 22007 are compatible with 2002- 2003 versions. So when you try to save the 2007 version as earlier version you should be able to do that without any problems.

If you do get a message mentioning that it cannot convert the database to the earlier version there could be some factors and they are mentioned in teh below mentioned lin:
