Access 97 Databases are Automatically Converted to Access 2002

[Paul Behrens]

Our Group Policy was set per KB Article 290291 with "Do
not prompt to convert older databases" with the
setting "Enabled" and "enforced on". The article states
that with this setting, the user would not get the dialog
box and Access 97 databases would not be converted
automatically to Access 2002. Since this setting was
applied to the desktops through the GPO, users don't get
the dialog box, but their databases are getting converted
automatically to Access 2002 without the user doing
anything.

We are considering changing the Group Policy setting
to "Disabled" and "enforced on" to see if this helps.

Anyone with a similar experience or ideas on how to fix
this?

version of Access with the right version of your Access database. Easily
manage Access and your databases to ensure that users:
