Good Afternoon, and apologies in advance if this has been covered a hundred
times before.

I'm doing some development work, in Access 03 and distributing the prog with
the runtime version.

Trouble is, I have some clients who are using Office XP, and they are
getting the "incompatible database format" issue when trying to use the same
MDE I'm shipping out with the 2003 runtime.

The only solution I know of is to save it as a 2000 file format, bring it
into a machine running office XP, and make a new MDE from there. While it
works, it's not real efficient and also effectively doubles the number of
versions that are out there.

Soooo ... is there any way to tell Access 2003 that you want to make a MDE
for Access XP, or better yet, have that be the default, since 2003 should
have no issues running an XP front end???

Thanks for any thoughts:

Kevin
