Access to access

February 10, 2009 6:05 PM

I need a one-time conversion of a Access 2003 database file (.mdb) to an Access 2000 database file. I tried OpenOffice to no avail.

Basically, it was created on a machine that had a "free trial of Office 2003" but the full version was never bought. So now all that is on the machines I have access to only have Access 2000.

Id like to preserve as much of the formatting as possible.

Access spits out the "created on a newer version blah blah blah"

Is there a converter I can put this through?

I have tried OpenOffice, but that is geared, it would seem, towards accessing big server-side databases, I need to open/convert just one .mdb file.

Thanks!

You should be able to "Save as Previous Access Version" from the file menu

If all else fails, I'd be happy to convert it for you. Email's in my profile.
