I had to do the same thing
I installed A03, opened my a2000 mdb in A03 and with an import form I created, emptied my tables, and then did a manual File|Get External Data| type XML, and chose append to existing tables in the option button, and brought them right in
Since I was in A2000 format, there is no saving or converting. Just close A03, and open the mdb in A2000
Evidentally, The Application object has an ImportXML method that'll let you do it, so I am going to code it later
