Prevent access to back end by front end

There is no easy way for the back end to know that someone has just
connected to it. So the answer is, "not really".

HTH,

We have 2 versions of our database, a 97 version and a
2000 version. Both run against a common back-end. We now
want to force everyone to use the 2000 version and so need
a way to detect the front end from the back-end and
prevent access if it is coming from the 97 version.

Any ideas on how this could be done?
 
Why not simply upgrade the backend to 2000? A 97 version frontend won't be
able to link to a 2000 version backend.
 
Sounds like a good solution! Thanks.
