I wasn't sure if I should ask this here or try one of the access forums so I'll ask here first. I'm also assuming the answer is no (not backward compatible), but asking any way. I have a .dll that I made in VB.NET is there some way that .dll can be made to work in Access 2003 and used in VBA? It will not let it be set as a Reference like a COM one would (hey it was worth a try).

To do this you need to configure the .NET dll to expose its methods etc. to COM. Here's a link to an article that tells how to do this:

Exposing .NET Components to COM
