Converting secured database

[Bertie Clists]

I have picked up a database that has been developed by a
third party and am trying to convert from 97 to 2000.

Looks like the developer has had a bash at applying
access security and, as a result, no users have
administrator rights.

This means that, although I have been able to convert
tables, queries, reports and modules, I cannot convert
forms by import, export, copy or other standard methods.

Does anyone know of a way round this?

Happy to code, if that's the way

TIA

What do you mean when you say that you can convert some objects, but not
forms? Coversion (from one version of Access to a higher version) applies to
the db as a whole. You can not convert some objects but not other ones.

Can you get the workgroup file, user account, and password from the
developer? That would be the easiest solution.

Oops, I guess you mean you have copied those other objects into a new
database, but can not copy the forms. In that case, the advice to locate (or
recreate) the original workgroup file would be the way to go.
