Converting Access 2000 to 97

I'm trying to convert an Access 2000 file into 97 and keep
getting an invalid field type error. This is probably a
rookie error, but I've looked to a couple of other
resources and can't find the answer. Any hints as to where
the error is at?

Thanks,

Do you have any Decimal fields in your database? That data type didn't exist
in Access 97.

Doug,

Couldn't find any fields in my tables with a decimal data
type. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Sorry, no. Hopefully someone will notice that I've marked this Unresolved.

Take a copy of your database, then progressively cut stuff out until you find
what causes the conversion error.

This is standard programmer practise, at least to me. It could be almost
anything. It could even, at a pinch, be bad data or a corrupted db.

That's how I'd proceed anyway.
