Can you open a database created in Access 2007 using Access 2003?

Hi Experts,

I created a database using Microsoft Access 2007, and put it on a computer that uses Microsoft Access 2003.  I can't get the database to open properly using 2003.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Oh, that's really bad, this db is for a client and they are kind of in a hurry.  Ok, thanks for the heads up.  Have a nice evening :-)

Glad to help.  Can you have someone with 2007 try to save it down to 2003 or 2000?
How, I have 2007?
I am stuck on Office 2003, so I am not sure.
What I would try to do is create a blank 2000-2003 database (*.mdb) and then attempt to import all your objects from the 2007 database into the 2003 version.

Good Luck.
