In a multi-user environment, you may need to support users that run different versions of Access, or you may need to upgrade older databases to Access 2003. When you open a database from a previous Access version, Access 2003 prompts you to either upgrade the database file or open it without upgrading. You can also convert a database to the previous Access format.
