What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? If so what is
the message?

A200x can indeed open A97 databases. It offers you the option to
upgrade the database to 2000 (or 2003, your choice) format, but even
if you decline that offer you should be able to read and update the
data in the database. However, you won't be able to make any design
changes without converting.
