I HAVE NORTHWIND SAMPLE DATABASE VER.97

[Guest]

I have Northwind Sample Database Ver.97 in CD. This is not working in my PC.
My Operating System is Windows XP. My MsAccess software is 2003 version.
How can I update the above Northwind Sample Database to new version ?

1. Make a copy of the database "just in case"

2. Open 2003

3. Select Tools ----> Database Utilities -------> Convert Database ---->
Convert to 2003 format then select Northwind.mdb

By default, Office 2003 installs its version of Northwind in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\SAMPLES. If you didn't do a complete
install, you may need to re-run Office 2003 setup, and choose the option to
add/remove components.

There doesn't seem to be a downloadable version for Access 2003, but I
expect the Access 2000 version would probably work with Access 2003 ...
