Editing old database file

B

BG250

We have custom software developed in visual basic that uses a mdb file for
data. I need to clean out old data from the tables. When I open with access
2000 or 97 it says it was created from an earlier version and that I can't
change.

Is there a way that I can edit the data and save it back to the format so
the software can still read the DB file? Acess 97 is as old as I have.

Thanks, bg

Create a new, empty MDB and link the tables instead of opening the original
MDB. As long as it isn't any older than Access 2 you shouldn't have any
trouble editing the data without converting.
