    Creating 2003 mde from 2007

    I've had a good 12 - 18 months away from developing a system that is in use at work. It was developed under Access 2003, and users access the system via an 'mde'.

    I now have Access 2007, no longer have access to 2003 (I develop away from the office).

    My question is, will there be any issues developing using Version 2007 and creating mde's for Version 2003. The mde's are strewn with heaps of vba code.

    Any advice appreciated.

    AFAIK you will need Access 2003 in order to create a 2003 MDE.

    I have found that for some strange reason, Access 2007 will create a MDE file from an Access 2003 database. However, the MDE file will not open in Access 2003???

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
