MS Access Help!

Hey all,
I have been asked to develop a database using Microsoft Access (for work)

At home I have Access 2000, and at work it is the 2003 version.

Does anyone know whether I can develop it at home and then use it at work?

I'm a bit of a beginner on this ap so have got a lot to learn over the next few weeks
(and to top it all, I have a training guide book for Access 2007 which is completely different to the other 2 versions!)

Just done a bit of research, and from what it looks like you should be fine working on 2000 then putting it on 2003.

I wouldn't recommend constantly switching between the two though.

In my office, I use 2003 and the other developer uses 2000. And half the users are on 2000, half are on 2003.

The only problem we've come across is in 2003 there are extra warnings to be disabled for VBA macro security. And there's a registry change I have to do on each new 2003 computer. Can't remember what it is at the moment and it could be just down to our settings though.

Anyway they're simple changes - I can do them and I've no tech training, I'm a finance guy who gets landed with all the tech problems
