I have a Access 97 file that I want to work with using Access 2002. Specifically, I would like to create a new report and on the file but I can't seem to figure it out.

I able to do it on a new 2002 file but not on this old 97 file.

Although you can open previous versions of Access using a later version, you cannot change the design. You will have to convert the database to Access 2002 to change the design. With Access 2000, you can then save it back to Access 97 but I'm not sure about Access 2002.
