We are using MS Access 2003. We just find that there is a MDB file that
hasn't been used for a number of years.

We would like to know is there any easy way to find out which version of MS
Access (Like Access 97 / Access 2.0) it is created ?

When we open it, it asks us to "Convert" or "Open it".

Thanks

Open the access DB
Select "Help"
Select "About Microsoft Access"

Hope this helps

In Access 2003,

MsgBox OpenDatabase("C:\MyOtherDB.mdb").Version

or

?OpenDatabase("C:\MyOtherDB.mdb").Version
