Access Conversion back end/frond end

I need to have some users be able to update and manipulate database tables
that are still in Access '97 after they are converterd to Acccess 2003.
Is the only way they can use the Access '97 table via the Splitting of the
front end and back end. .. or can they just convert their database to 2003
and still link to acess '97 tables whereby they may still update in '97
tables ?

| I'm not really sure I understand what subtlety you're trying to make.
How is having a 2003 database linked to the Access 97 tables any different
than splitting into a front-end/back-end?
Realistically, that's your only option: front-ends in both Access 97 and
Access 2003, linked to the back-end in Access 97.

| That's what I thought...You are absolutely correct. I was just making sure I
was not overlooking something. I guess I was'nt sure if you REALLY need to
perform a Database Splitter command to have the same functionality.
Thanks so much!

| Well, it's certainly not necessary to use the built-in Database Splitter in
Access. In all the applications I've built, I've never used it once...
