Access 97, 2000, XP reports and VB

I know i can create a Microsoft Access object with:

Dim accessApp as Access.Application

But my customer's computers doesn't have the same Access version. Some
have Access 97, some Access 2000, some Access XP, and others have two
versions (97 and 2000).
¿How can I "force" to use one of them?
¿How can I know which versions are installed?

It would be great if exists some kind of:

Dim access97App As Access97.Application
Dim access2000App As Access2000.Application

¿Any ideas? I use Access to make and print reports, if it matters.

Hello,

Personally, I compile my program on a computer with Win 98 / access 97 and I
use Access 2003 / Win XP to develop). (thanks to Virtual pc)
I have never had any problems.
If I compile with a greater version of Access, I sometimes have problems
with the old access versions.
