MDE File Compatability

[Netherby]

I've written a database in Access 2003 using an Access 2002 - 2003 file format. I've then created an MDE file and distributesd this file to users. The users who have Access 2003 can run the database without a problem but those who have Access 2002 cannot run the database and get a message that says they do not have the latest version of access.

Can anyone help me and explain why the problemn exists and what to do to solve it.

Thanks

I've hit the same problem and as far as I know you have to build the MDE in the matching version of Access. Access 2003 is compatible with data in Access 2002 and 2000 format but can't generate MDE files in that format.
