converted access db not showing correct records in vb

[clientuser]

I have a vb app that I developed using an access 2000 db..

I had to switch to another machine that only has office 97 on it (UGH!) and had to convert the access db to an earlier format....

Afterwards, when I go and create new records in the vb app and then try to search for them, all the previous records that were saved in the access 2000 format are showing but the access 97 ones do not show..

Why is that?????

I have the ado 2.7 reference in my project.....

i would assume that once access 2000 converts your db to an earlier version, it also formats it?

after installing win xp on this machine, the app runs fine with the access 2000 db even though i dont have office xp installed yet (still have office 97) im pretty sure its because xp puts the runtime files needed on the system for access 2000 formatted dbs???
