I get the following error in Access when I try to open an Access 97 file in Access 2000.<br>The Access 97 file was created in WinNT 4.0, with full access to "All", and "Network":<br><br>"The current user account doesn't have permission to convert or enable this database."<br><br>How do I open this file? The weird thing is that not all files copied across are unreadable. Some instantly suggest I convert to Access 2000, and there is no further problem.<br><br>Has anyone else had this problem?
