This is for a personal "fun" application I've been toying with for years
first in A97, now in A2003. It's just for me and my friends who
aprticipate in a weird hobby to use. My friends have A2000, but none
have A2003.
I know I can't give them an mde, but are there any pitfalls to
developing in 2003 and giving a 2003 mdb to a machine with 2000?
I'm thinking of putting in a routine to check for Jet version (not sure
what version of Jet 2000 has versus 2003), but are there things like
functions that behave or do things differently in 2003 that may not work
in 2000?
Thanks very much in advance.

Access 2000 uses the same version of Jet as 2003. Also, the default file
format for 2002 (XP) and 2003 is the 2000 file format. As long as you don't
use any new functionality or commands from the 2002 or 2003 versions, you
should be in good shape. To find these, check What's New in the help file
from Access 2002's and 2003's VBA Editor window. You will also find some
information here. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...817081033.aspx

Excellent idea.
What I've done is use the various API calls available and am checking the version
number and date/time of a crucial dll, msjetxx.dll, to ensure it matches what I have
on my system. See the Verify Appropriate Jet Service Pack is installed page at my
website for more details including sample code: www.granite.ab.ca\access\verifyjetsp.htm

Hi
I am using A2003 on XP. The client has A2000. So I have ensured that I have
developed based on A2000 and compiled as such.
I have found that in a number of cases now, I have used (what I thought) was
fairly standard methods & properties, but as it turns out, not so. I
install on the client's machine and recompile and have found that a method
is just not recognised in A2000. eg: in A2003, docmd.OpenReport includes
the 'OpenArgs'...

I have an A2000 database in which I have a continuous form with a tick
box. There is also a text box with a conditional format that is based on
the expression , if it's true then change the background
colour.
In A2000 it works great, but in A2003 the background doesn't always
change and when it does it only changes when the record looses the
focus.
Any way around this? Is it a bug? Or have they "improved" it?

I understand A2000 was developed for SQL7? Is there any way to get

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
