Access 2007 conversion from Access 2003

F

Frank

I am trying to convert databases from Access 2003 to Access 2007. Most are
converting without difficulty; however, there are some I receive a
"utility.mda" and "DAO2535.tlb" error. In some cases I get the error message
then a blank screen. As a result I'm not even sure where to look to correct
the error. Has anyone else experienced this problem.

Thanks

This suggests that the A2003 database from which you're converting has a
reference to "utility.mda" - a library that was used with Access 2.0 - or to
DAO2535.tlb - which was (I believe) a compatibility database between Access
2.0 and Access 95. If you have code in the 2003 database that is actually
USING these ancient dinosaurs, it should probably be fixed; if not, try just
using VBA editor... Tools... References to remove the references before
converting.

There does not seem to be an explanation of the problem?

Maybe the webpage dropped my earlier response:
