I am getting the following error message - 'Compile error in hidden
module:...' when I open in Access 2002 (home) a file that was last
opened in Access 2003 (work).

When I open it while holding down the shift key, I do not get this
error. However, after doing a Cntl-G, the menu options for References
and Compile All modules are greyed out. Any ideas on how to resolve
this? Thanks.
 
Decompile before conversion (google for more information).

You need have a module open as well.

David,

Thanks for your response. Should I perform the decompile on the Office
2003 PC or on the Office 2002 PC?

You should decompile and compact the source 2003 file
first, before trying to open in 2002.

Then decompile and compact the destination file in A2002.
