Conversion asks for password

[Lorin]

I have an Access 97 .mdb file that works perfectly with an application.
I converted the Access 97 file to the latest Access 2003 SP2 version.
Why - because Access will not allow me to work on the DB within Access
unless I convert it. This is stupid!
I just used tools and did a conversion.
This went OK.
Then I tried to use the converted .mdb file with the same application and I
get a popup window that asked for a password.
What password? I tried my Window Logon password - it failed.
No password was ever involved before.

If you converted the database you should still have the old 97 database.

Whatever you did when you converted it, something added a password to the
2003 database.

Here is what I suggest: Open access 2003. Click on Tools/Database
Utilities/Convert...

Select the 97 database and convert it again.

The reason you cannot change the design of a 97 database in 2003 without
first converting it is that the 2 file versions are not the same. If you
changed something using 2003, the change would break the 97 file.
