Update Access 2000

[Ken E.]

Have Access 2000. Tried to open a .mdb file - pop-up tells
me I have to update - file created by a newer version of
Access - what files do I need? Do I have to take the whole
Office update? Exactly where do I find them? Greenhorn
here. Help. Thanks.

Hi Ken,

You'd need to upgrade to Access 2002 or Access 2003 - and preferably
upgrade Office as a whole. This involves purchasing the software from a
retailer (or getting your corporate IT department to supply it).

It would be simpler and cheaper (if it's possible) to ask whoever
created the mdb to use their version of Access (2002, presumably) to
convert it to Access 2000 format for you.
