Error Msg: Unrecognizable Database Form

H

Heather

I am a college student currently taking an Access class
in school. I have installed Excel 97 & Access 97 on my
home computer, which uses Windows XP. In order to
complete my assignments, we download files from
www.course.com, depending on what textbook we are using.
I used this process when I was in Excel class, and had no
problems opening or using these files. I am, however,
receiving the forementioned error message when I try to
open the Access files. Can somebody please help me??? I
am quite familiar with computers, and some of the lingo,
but if someone could explain any steps to me
in "laymen's" terms, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.

A97 can only read Access files in A97 (or A95 or A2) file format.

If the file you download is in A2K or AXP file format, you cannot use your
A97 software to open the downloaded database.
