Hi, A file is in the "access 2.0 file format" How can it be changed to "access 2003 format"? Khalil Have a look at the Access 2.0 Converter: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830271/en-us  SignatureArvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com > Hi, > A file is in the "access 2.0 file format" > How can it be changed to "access 2003 format"? > > Khalil Downloade and run file. Getting message of couruption but still have the same error of corruption even after try to fix it?? I will try Jerry's solution and see if it works.

If it opens, it can usually be repaired. MAKE SURE THAT YOU WORK ON COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL FILE. If you have Access 2.0, you can almost always fix the corruption by creating a new database and importing all the objects. Corrupted objects will not import. You can fix them by creating a new object and copying & pasting the controls. Once you've fixed the broken object, import it into your new database. Compile everything before trying to convert it. Once it compiles, it should convert nicely.

Second you can covert the A97 version to A03. Third you'll need to test and find out what code does not work and fix it. SignatureJerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two.
