I can not open my database in the in the .fpdb I get an error when Access tries to open it something about it can not recognize the format. How will I do mail merges and stuff and check the bloody thing if I cannot open it? Hmmmm?

How did you create the database, and what version of FP are you using and what version of Access?

something about it can not recognize the format. How will I do mail merges and stuff and check the
bloody thing if I cannot open it? Hmmmm?

Upgrade your version of Access to the version that the .mdb file needs.

Hi Still,

What is the specific error message that you're getting. Make sure that you have Friendly Error Messages turned off in IE so that you
can see the specific error message.

If you are trying to open it up on the remote site, you should get this error. With my host I have to copy the database from the remote .fpdb folder and copy it to my local .fpdb folder and it overwrites the database I can then open it up locally to see the results

What I do so that I don't have to fish through new results everytime is to rename the db on my host and then copy it over to my local machine to view it. Once I am done I will copy the original(empty) db back into the remote .fpdb folder so that it is blank again and will only show the now results when I import it again. This could be it.

Yep, I was opening my site at work and they use Access 97! Thanks.
