I am needing some information on the Access Converter
which enables you to look at older Access databases. I
need information as to where I can purchase such an item
and the cost. I am needing this information as soon as
possible as our Database manager is retiring at the end of
June and wants to open up some old databases and save to
CD's.

Thank you

Well, looking at MS Access XP it should open, and if desired convert)
that version 2.0. I don't know about newer Access versions however, maybe
they will not go back that far. If you have a copy of XP, then you should
be able to update to XP and then to more current.

There are some issues with some features when converting, but the data
should convert without a problem.

You need to contact MS or locate the files yourself. Contacting MS is
better likely so they can get a feel for how many folks are having
this issue and if they should include it back in the next version of
Access.

The access 2000 converter works (but is not supported) if you copy it
into the Access 2003 folder: You will need to find a computer with
Access 2000 installed and copy msacnv30.exe and msacnv30.dll into your
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11
