Error when converting Access 97 to 2002

[Jack]

Hi,

I get this error when I try converting an Access 97
database to Access 2002 on a XP machine..
"The current user account doesn't have permission to
convert or enable this database."

I thought the Access 97 mdb might have been secured, I
checked it and found that it is only linked to System.mdw
The 97 mdb file works on all NT machines with Access 97
installed on it. But when I try converting it using Access
2002 Database utility for converting it gives me this error

Please help...

Jack.

Hello,

Check out the following kb article

ACC2000: "The Current User Account Doesn't Have Permission to Convert or
WGID:147

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;232589

If above article doesn't help try the steps below:

1. Copy the System.mdw, from NT machine, onto WinXP machine.
2. Join to this mdw file: Start Access - Tools - Security - Workgroup
Administrator- Join
3. Try the conversion
