Use a front-end/back-end application with several versions of Microsoft Access

If your Microsoft Access database is already a front-end/back-end application, you only need to convert the front end to Microsoft Access 2000.

1. Leave the back-end database alone.
   
   
2. Convert the front-end database to Microsoft Access 2000.
   
   
3. Run the Linked Table Manager (Tools menu, Database Utilities command) to link the new Microsoft Access 2000 front-end database to the tables in the previous-version back-end database. You can then enhance the Microsoft Access 2000 front-end database to support new features, for users that have upgraded to Microsoft Access 2000.
