Convert Access 2003 to 2000

Don Stone

I have two very similar Access databases in the 2003 format. I must convert
each to the 2000 format. One database converted without any difficulty.
The other one gives me an error message: "The report name 'DirDataCopy' you
entered in either the property sheet or macro is misspelled or refers to a
report the doesn't exist".
From what I find in a couple of forums, I am not the only one who has
received the message. Can someone please point me to some kind of a
solution? Or, at least give me some kind of idea as what to look for in my
database?

Using Access 2003, run through this recovery sequence:

Still using A2003, create a new (blank) database in Access 2000 format. Turn
off Name AutoCorrect, and set minimal references. Then import the objects
from the problem database.

If all goes well, decompile and compact.
Then see if you can open this new one in A2000, and compile.

Allen--
Thank you very much for the help. It worked and I have the database in the
A2K format as desired!
