Microsoft access 2000 to Microsoft access 97, Urgent
- Thread starter mkey
- Start date
This is the SQL Server group, and you should probably direct your question to one of the MS Access groups.
I suspect that you are out of luck trying to get a an Access 2000 database with Access 97. However, if you can beg or borrow a system with Access 2000 installed it will likely do a good job of converting your Access 2000 database to an Access 97 database.
The only problem I've had is that the conversion seems to drop import/export specifications. You can get around this by exporting the two system tables for import/export from the Access 2000 database to the Access 97 database. (I think they begin with something like "IMEX". They are recognizable by their contents).
