Database File

[Clayton]

Hi,
I have upgraded a customers computer and copied over a .MDE file which is
some sort of a database he uses for business but on the new pc when opening
the file I get a message saying "this copy of I.S.A. has no valid licience
number"
Unfortunely, the people that made it is no longer in business, is there a
way I can get some sort of information from the old pc? it works on the old
pc ok.

Thanks

On the old computer you could create a new database file then import all the
tables and queries to it. Unfortuantely you won't be able to import any
reports, tables, or modules as it's an MDE file.

If that doesn't work you may be able to export all the tables as CSV or XLS
files from the existing database. If it's a well normalized database,
individual Excel files won't be of much use.
