Ed:

This is regarding my original message
labeled "Publisher/Access problem post on 9/15/2003 at
9:34 AM.
I have tried to respond twice and for some reason my
reply-post is not being posted. This is my reply to your
message:
I tried to rename the ".mdb" file to ".pub". When I
opened it in MS Publisher, a error message stated "File
can not be opened by Publisher". I also tried to open
the ".mdb" file. Publisher gave me the
message: "Publisher is converting the file"; it also
created multiple pages(I'll call worksheets) that
contained the data. I originally created an "Address
Book" in Publisher. Is there any way to convert these
worksheets back to the format of the original Address
Book?
Thanks,
Sam

Your reply IS being posted, and I have replied twice.
Here is the reply that I have already posted twice.

You originally claimed you had a Publisher file. You do not. You have a
Publisher Address List, which is stored in a Microsoft Access Database in
MDB format. You should have your original file somewhere.
You do not need to convert the file back to a Publisher Address List,
because the file is more useful and less awkward to use if it is in Access
format.
