I've got an old access 97 database that I'd still like to use. Regular conversion paths not working. Would like it to work on Win7 box with Access 2010 or newer. Can someone take a look at it and be my hero? Slightly over 200mb. Let me know preferred method of delivery.

You need to find a copy of Access 2003, open the database, and then go to Tools -> Convert Database and save as an Access 2003 database. This will then be able to be used by 2007 to 2010 in the mob format. If you wish to up-convert to the 2010 format, you'd need to then open it with an Access 2007+ version and save as the ACCDB format. Unfortunately, the JET driver from Access 2007+ doesn't support the Jet 3.1 format from 1997. Would you be able to find and use a copy of Access 2003?

I found a copy of Access 2003 and it will only let me convert to Access 2000 file format. Even with or without doing that the database is non-functional.

Are the tables gone? The user-interface forms? The queries? Did the database get corrupted? How did you use it before you posted here for help?

What kind of data does it contain, that you'd willingly send it to strangers?

That loses any forms he's made. Can LibreOffice Base open Access 97?
