    2002-2003 format type cant open in 2003 version

    Hi

    I use my laptop to create a file with some forms in it using version 2010 but saved it as 2002-2003 format. When I brought it to office and opened it, table data is there but the forms cannot be opened. My office is using 2003 version.




    How can I resolve this issue apart from redesign those forms using my office PC.

    Thanks

    Try Compact & Repair.

    Try importing everything into a new 2003 file.

    I will try it when I back to office.

    Does it mean I can also create a file in 2010 format( accdb) then import to 2003 version?

    No, Access 2003 cannot read 2007/2010 (accdb) files.
