My department uses Access 2k, we have a report that needs
to circulate through another department, that currently
uses Access 97. I can send the report through e-mail as a
snapshot, but the receiver can not open it. I am looking
for a way to send the 2k report, but still be able to be
opened with a previous version of Access. Does anybody
know if that is possible, or is there another way I can
handle this ?
 
Erik,

Not tested.

Open a '97 db with your 2000 version (don't convert).
Open the source '2000 db as well.
Copy the query and report across to the '97 one.
Attach the source tables to the '97 db.

It should work as long as you are not using any
unsupported features in the report.

The 97 users can use the report from the '97 db above.
