Convert Access 2000 database to Access 7.0?

Is it possible to convert an Access 2000 database to Access 7.0? I have an old machine that I would like to run a database on but it only has Access 7.0 for WIndows 95.

To my knowledge, no.

The best I can do is offer to save it down for you since I'm running 2000 and 97... but I wouldn't even be able to test the running of it.

Office 95 didn't even use the same VBA that we use today, so if there's code being used in the DB, it could be bad.

I tried it here on some machines at the office. I opened the 2000 database on an office 2003 machine and converted it to 97 successfully. Then I opened it up on a 97 machine and tried to go to Tools and Convert but the option is greyed out. So it looks like 97 doesn't have any options for converting to prior versions. Probably because it doesn't run on the same code. Does this sound about right?
