How can I view an Access version 1 database?

[krisbrixon]

I am trying to read this old file I have and I can not find a way to open it. I am assumming they are Access version 1 mdb's.

When Access 2002 tries to convert the mdb it tells me that "This operation is not supported for Microsoft Access 1.x databases."

When Enterprise Manager for SQL Server 2000 tries to import the mdb it tells me that "This property is not supported for external data sources or for databases created with a previous version of Microsoft Jet."

Does anyone know a way to read these files?

I found this link to Microsoft support saying I need Access version 2 to access this file.

I used to have version 2 "many moons ago", but I do not think I have the disks any more. (For you young ones, programs used to come on diskettes.)

Any other ideas????

I found the answer. You have to create a new database and then import the files into access.
