I agree 100% with 'sjl'!!!! The reference problems with a2000 to a2003 is a
pain. Either dropping references and access trying to be too smart and
adding them. I have a2003 installed on my machine (along w/ a2000 and a97)
and any time I try to open a a2000 database using my a2000 version it picks
up new references from the a2003 version. References are ALWAYS a big issue
in coversion, and anyone that tells you different hasn't had the experience
w/ the problems or is in reference denial.
