Access Database Question

[John Reinders]

Hi,

Just a quick question? Does any one know of a good converter out there
so I can use Access 95 to open a newer version .mdb? Or if anyone knows
of a good viewer that I could use?

I've already checked the MS site but could not find anything?

Thanks

buy a new version jackass
it's insecure to install 'Access 95' on any operating system; it
doesn't have current security patches

Access95 was written LONG before Access 200x - five to ten years
before. Of course, it cannot open later version databases; and there
is no viewer.

If you have Access 200[0,2,3] you can save a database in Access97
format... but not, to my knowledge, in 95 format.

You should be able to get access to the *DATA* in the newer versions,
using Excel for instance - not to the forms, reports, etc. however.
