Windows 2000 and files with ke extensions

jgflynn

In Windows 2000, I cannot open files (database) with ke (ket and .key)
extensions.
Is there a way to come around, lest I change for another OS, Windows 98 or
XP?-Thank you Sir, for your at
tention and care. JG.

There is nothing in Microsoft Access that would recognize those extensions.
You might try opening them with notepad to see if they are actually text
files. If they are, you could change the extension and open them in any
Windows OS. You may need to change them from Unix format to DOS format. Do
that with:

Public Function UNIX2DOS(ByVal str As String) As String
UNIX2DOS = Replace(str, Chr(10), Chr(13) & Chr(10))
End Function

Microsoft's Help system has landed you in the wrong newsgroup: this
one is for the database program Microsoft Access. Access does not use
..ket or .key extensions, and I don't know what program does; you would
obviously need to have that program installed and registered on your
computer to automatically open them.

Please use the dropdown box (the one that says "Access" by default)
to select a more appropriate newsgroup. In this case, it would
probably be one of the Windows2000 newsgroups.
