Strange. Try creating a brand new database in Access 2003. I recommend
disabling NameAutocorrect first thing (Tools | Options... > General tab).
Also recommended: disable the AutoIndexing "feature" by clearing the
suggested fieldname fragments from Auto Index on Import / Create text box
found on the Tables/Queries tab.
Then try importing each group of objects from your Access 97 source file.
Use File | Get External Data | Import...
to start this procedure. Note that you will not be able to see any hidden
objects in the import dialog, so you may want to first use Access 97 to
ensure that none of your objects have been set as hidden.
