If you are on a network sharing a database and when you install Access 2000 on a system is there an option to select to not convert the database to a 2000 format? I can not make changes to it and save because it will save in the 2000 format.

i personally can't do the same on my working database for the same reason, but i did it in stealth mode on a copy of the database.

it did ask me whether i wanted to convert the database before i closed it.
(i'm pretty sure i have a co-worker running access2k (again, stealth mode tactics) on that database and it hasn't been an issue if that is true.)
i didn't see any corruptions or problems with the copy of the database i worked on.

i didn't do any real database editing other than add and editing tables, nothing really touching the actual 'setup' of the database.

hope this helps

Not sure this will help, but you can save an Access 2000 database to a previous Access version using Access 2000. To do this:
Open the database and select Tools>Database Utilities>Convert Database>To Prior Access Database Version...
