Microsoft Access 2003 -> Access 2007 compatibility problems

Having a strange one at work. Basically, our company operates using quite a few Access 2003 databases (heavily VBA driven). Our company has won another contract and taken over new offices as a result of this. The thing is, the new offices are running on Microsoft Office 2007, and when openning the databases with 2007, it seems to be converting them to a 2007 format.

This works for opening them in 2007 fine - but when you go to re-open the same database in 2003, it states the file is corrupt and we have to do a backup of the database to access it again...

Is there any way around this, or has Microsoft moved on and not given much thought for backwards compatibility?

Cheers for your help!
 
Spot on the money, Marc! I'll give it a go as soon as I get a computer with Office 2007 installed upon my desk :] Cheers fellas!
