Access 97 to Access 2000

Hello:
I am trying to convert an Access 97 database to 2000. The 97 currently uses
DAO library 3.51. 2000 uses 3.6
I have both 97 and 2000 installed. I tried converting an older test 97
database and it worked. However, now that I am trying to convert the real
database, it is not working. Onlyl the .ldb file opens.
I tried changing the DAO library and then
opening with 2000 to activate the convert dialog box but the file doesn't
open. I was going to try to use the Convert Database menu item but it is
greyed out. Why is it unavailable.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jade.

Your welcome Jade. Post back if it is still causing problems and you would

A greyed out Convert Database usually means the db is read only.
Here's a link to MVP Allen Browne's site that offers some ideas.
