Backward Converson

[JamesJ]

Can I convert my Access 2007 database back to access 2003? I didn't seem to
save my 2003
database.
I'm getting a bet frustrated with access 2007. Ever time I turn around
there's another bug.
Mind you, some of the problems I'm having might be my fault but most are
bugs. I've had 2007 for nearly 2
years and haven't made any headway with my database, I'm still converting.

Any help will be appreciated,
James

However I you did something available only in Access 2007, it might not
convert cleanly.

Thougfht maybe I had to export or something.

Thanks,

Have you tried opening Access 2003, importing all tables, querys, forms,
reports into a new db?
You probably have to have an mdb extension for your 2007 file though.

That's the problem I don't have any mdbs. And currently I don't have 2003
installed.
I'm just having so many problems with 2007... nearly 2 years later I still
can't make any headway.

Wait a sec...

If you don't have 2003 installed, what will converting your 2007 version
back to 2003 allow you to do?

And when you say ... "it doesn't convert", do you mean nothing happens, or
you get an error message (please let us know what it says, it might help us
help you), or your PC shuts down, or ...?

The more you can describe what's happening, the more we have to go on to
help...
