First, I installed Office 2007 beta and it overwrote my Office 2003...

Then, I figure out I can no longer save my Access database as an Access '97
database. While I realize this software is 10 years old, my client still uses
it. I develop in 2003 (now 2007), and then save in '97. Well, no longer. Any
ideas? Did I just miss the command?

I don't know about A07; however, I suggest installing a copy of Access 97 on
your computer. Sometimes the coversion from A97 to A03 and the other
direction don't work properly. Plus it sometimes help to see the database run
in its native environment when there is a problem. I still support one A97
customer and have both A97 and A03 on my computer.
