Hi, My office network has a lot of Access 97 files on our server in daily
use. Some are read only others have full control. We have recently upgraded
to Office 2003. We now  have the problem that Access 2003 gives various
errors when trying to convert the files. Some of the users have gone back to
Acces97 but now of course they cannot open anything created by other users in
Access 2003.
On looking through the knowledgebase there appears to be lots of issues with
converting .mdb files.
Is there a simple solution/workaround out there that anyone knows of?

Thank you.

Start by compiling each database in A97 and remove any errors.  This is the
biggest single cause of conversion failures.  If the conversion utility
still fails, create a new empty database in A2003 format and import all the
components from the A97 database.  If there is a corrupt component, you will
need to recreate it manually.
