97 .mda to 2000 .mda

[Brad]

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have a really old Access97 db that I have to convert to 2000. it has a
library associated wtih it in a .mda file. I can convert it to 2000, but it
makes an .mdb How do I make it a .mda file? Just change the extension, or is
there a process,

Thanks,

Brad

The file extension is immaterial. Just set a reference to it... in the
module window, on the menu, Tools | References.

The current equivalent to .mda is .MDE, but that code is "compiled" --
objects with code are locked and can't be updated in an .MDE. So, in the
future, if you make an .MDE, be sure to save the .MDB for future
maintenance/enhancements.
