[Paul Remblance]

Hi, based in the UK we have a very old and large version 2.0 database. We
are desparately trying not to convert it, can anybody recommend where we can
buy (download if possible) MS Access 2.0. Our original media has gone
walkies. Also trying to avoid ebay! Please reply via the group as the the
email address is false (spam).

Trying doing a search on, say "old software" and "access 2.0".

One hit was http://www.emsps.com/OLDTOOLS/msacc.htm

This is the best site I could find. Although it looks like a lot of
copies are used, atleast you're buying from a business.

They also sell Office 4.3, which includes Access 2.0.

If you have an MSDN subscription, it is still downloadable from the
subscribers library. You may want to check out

Why don't you want to convert? Please send me an email if you would
like to get an assessment of your situation.

Why not convert to a newer version?

Also consider purchasing the A2.0 runtime. This will allow you to
distribute a runtime version of Access to your users so they can only
execute your app and not make any changes to the MDB. Which is a good
thing.

Actually I legally own the A2.0 runtime. I still have it on floppy
and I'm sure I have copies of it on CD. If you want to discuss this
further email me at tony at granite dot ab dot ca.
