David's right: this has to do with the updates such as security patches.

Under Help | About, my copy of A2000 on WinXP SP3 reports itself as:
Microsoft (r) Access 2000 (9.0.8968 SP-3)

But if you look at msaccess.exe in My Computer, its version is 9.0.0.6620. I
find this more informative, since it is specific to Access. So that's what I
show on my software's Help | About and splash screens:

(Mind you, hotfixes still do affect this version number.)

Ah, I'm still on Win XP SP2. Help >> About shows 6926 SP3 but the
msaccess.exe shows 6620. Interesting. I've never noticed that this
could be different.
