Converting very old version

[Guest]

Is anybody aware of a way or tool to convert a Access 1.x database to an as
late as possible version? Ideally under Windows 98 or NT or 2000.

HMM... I started working with Access version 2.0 so I'm not positive, but
have you tried simply going into a newer version such as Access 2003 and
opening the old Access 1.x mdb file? I know you can upgrade an Access 2.0
version. If you have any DLL calls you will have to change them to 32 bit
DLLS.

I believe you will have to find someone with Access 2.0 installed and
convert the Access 1.0 or 1.1 database to Access 2.0, then convert the
Access 2.0 database to a later version using Access 95, 97, or 2000. I
believe Access 2002 will convert an Access 2.0 database, but am not certain.
I don't believe Access 2003 will convert an Access 2.0 database, but believe
it will convert any 32-bit version.

Access 97 can convert a 1.x database. So you may need to start there.
I do not know if A2000 can convert a 1.x database.

If you only need the data then you may be able to link to a 1.x
database and run some maketable queries.
