32 bit app / 16 bit DB

 32 bit app / 16 bit DB

I was told the other day that if I write a 32 bit VB program and access a
16 bit Access database that it will convert it to 32 bit.  If this
happens my 16 bit apps can no longer access that database?  If that is
true is there a way that a 32 bit app can read & write to a 16 bit Access
database without converting it?

I have a 32 bit VB application that reads and write to an Access MBD
2.0 file, no problem.  No, it won't automaticly convert it.  One way
to convert from Jet 2.0 to Jet 3.0 is use MS Access 95 (version 7.0),
that will convert your 2.0 MBD database to a 3.0 MDB file.
