access thread: MS Access 97 incompatible?


Message #1 by lekim@b... on Fri, 9 Mar 2001 13:48:52
I clicked on a file(cars.mdb) from a code example in a recent book and got 

an error "file format unregconized". Is it Access 97 won't run in new 

Access?

Access 2000 can open .mdb's created in Access 97, but not the other way

around.



HTH,

Unlikely, since Access 2000 would recognise an Access 97 database and ask if

you wanted to convert it to 2000. Are you sure that the database is not

corrupted?
