Can we run Access 2003 db from Access 2007?

This is likely a bonehead question, but it would be good to find out.

I just inherited a couple of databases that are in Access 2003. They are used for data entry/reporting by about a dozen people, however I will be the only one doing any administration on them. I do not want to convert them to 2007 yet, as I'm not familiar enough with them to troubleshoot issues.



Currently, everyone has Access 2003 & 2007 installed on their PCs so they can access this DB. Is there any reason we can't have everyone access the database using Access 2007? If I did any changes to the database structure, I would use Access 2003, but I've been looking at is using Access 2007, and don't see why people can't run it using 2007.

Thanks

there is no issue here. however, watch out for doing modifications to the objects with 07 features that are not part of 03. if you run into this, you'll probably regret doing so. just keep it simple and ull be fine. 07 opens all versions of database files while 03 does not

Thanks. I had a feeling it would work, I just wanted to double check that there weren't any known major issues.
