Best Answer

Yes, for the most part the two are compatible, however Access 2007 creates a new type of database format (ACCDB) that Access 2003 cannot read (it uses MDB). There are some new features in Access 2007 that 2003 does not have (obviously), but if you're using a database that's formatting for 2000 or 2003, then Access 2007 can work with it seamlessly.

My advice is that if you have users on multiple versions of Access, then use the database file format with the OLDEST version common to everyone.
