Access 97 to Access 2000

[Jade5]

Hello:
I am trying to convert an Access 97 database to 2000. The 97 currently uses
DAO library 3.51. 2000 uses 3.6
I have both 97 and 2000 installed. I tried converting an older test 97
database and it worked. However, now that I am trying to convert the real
database, it is not working. Onlyl the .ldb file opens.
I tried changing the DAO library and then
opening with 2000 to activate the convert dialog box but the file doesn't
open. I was going to try to use the Convert Database menu item but it is
greyed out. Why is it unavailable.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jade.

A greyed out Convert Database usually means the db is read only.
Here's a link to MVP Allen Browne's site that offers some ideas.
