The Version property of a Database object returns the version of the Microsoft Jet database engine that applies to that database. For databases created in or converted to Microsoft Access 2000, Version returns 4.0. For Access 97 and Access 95 databases, Version returns 3.0. If you need to distinguish between databases in Microsoft Access 2000 format and databases in Access 97 format, use the SysCmd function with the intrinsic constant acSysCmdAccessVer as the action argument to determine which version of Microsoft Access created the database. For an Microsoft Access 2000 database, the SysCmd function will return 9.0. For an Access 97 database, it will return 8.0.
