Personally I do all my development work in A2007 (using MDB or ADP

for testing and final build. There is a small risk I would use
features that are not yet available in that older version, but that is
very rare and easily fixed.

Ok, why not.
But I would do at least a DECOMPILE in the end and a new compile under A2003
before deploying it. I had several problems in the past with databases
developed under A2003 when opening in A2000. That usually happend for
databases with much code and much former changes in the VBA project.Often
the kind of errors were related to form events that didn't work. After
decompiling everthing worked fine.
Another point are the new system tables (e.g. for navigation pane) that are
written to the database under A2007 which are completely unusefull under
A2003. I'd delete them before deploing.
And there are many new properties for database objects and the database
itself which reside in it. I'm not that sure of cases where they could
disturb. (A 2003 mdb created new under A2007 has 180 kB, in A2003 it has 136
kB!)

Ciao, Sascha
