trouble with switchboard after converting access database from 2000 to 97

Hi, i'm having some trouble with the afformentioned problem.

i can't run my switchboard that i made in Access 2000 after converting it back to Access 97. I get an error on the following line:

Set con = Application.Currentproject.Connection

The error is a compile error: Method or data member not found

I've checked the references and got no clue, everything seems normal

its the bold part that causes an error.

cheers in advance, stevie
