Hi All! Thanking anyone for a reply.
Was A97 until I came into work. IT updated it to 2003 while I was away.

Sob! Sob! Work to do!

I have been told all my A97 databases have to be converted to 2003 by the IT
staff.

Could I do it myself & what is involved.

Regards Peter McCartney

Usually it's as simple as opening the database using Access 2003, and
letting it convert.

Thanks for that. I have now read this.
The databases seem to be running OK. I do not know why I was told the IT
section had to convert it them.
Mean while back at the farm.

I did notice that A97 databases shortcut icons once converted to A2003 can
not be changed for some reason. Strange! Would help users if I could change
the shortcut icons.
