Opening an old database without convert prompt.

[Steve Roberts]

Is there a way to open an access 97 database with Access 2000 so that you
don't receive the 'do you want to convert' prompt?

Thanks

Steve

Best approach might be to convert instead of open. Then (assuming you need
to be able to access the same data from both A97 and 2000), delete the
relations and tables from the A2000 database, compact, and link to the
tables in the A97 file: File | Get External | Link.
