Re: Access 2000 Developer Edition?

Show all headers | View raw

More on running older verson Access databases under Access 2007, 2010, or 
2013 runtimes.  Access MVP Paul Baldy told me that he'd tried a couple of 
Access 2000 databases and didn't have problems, but he didn't suggest that 
_every_ Access 2000 would.
