Quick question,
We have recently stopped producing some databases in
Access 97 and now produce them in Access 2000.
Having done this we've found out that only Access 2002 is
available for the people who need this info, is the Access
2000 mdb file fully compatible with Access 2002?

Yes, it's fully compatible.
They may just have to convert the database in 2002 format
but it's very easy through the Access tool : convert a
datebase which convert a database in the new version.

Nevertheless I have a problem to open a database in Access
2002 format with an Access 2000 software (see the
following questions)

One thing to watch out for is that while 2002 can use 2000 files, unless you
upgrade the file to 2002 format some of the tools may not work in 2002
(mainly the ability to create ADE files).
