database question

[Randy Rineer]

first i want to say thanks for answering my questions when i post them u
guys are great!!

heres the question...

i made a form page and sent results to a fp database which i created through
the wizard. it spit back the name new_page_4.mdb and put it in the fpdb
folder. When i try to open it access starts to load, then i get this error:
"Unrecognized database format C:\Documents and
settings\Owner\MyDocuments/WeAreColumbia\fpdb\new_page_4.mdb
I have access 97 installed. Any help?

Side Question: Any way to cut and paste error messages when they appear in
the grey pop up windows?!!

FrontPage will create the database in the default format
for the Web server, which is usually Access 2000 or
Access 2002.

You may have luck creating the database manually in
Access 97, then adding it to your Web site, then
configuring your forms page to use it. But Access 97 is
what, 7 years old now? You really should consider an
upgrade.
