Unrecognized database format - please help

A

Alan J

Access (Office 97) works fine on my old PC (Win 98SE). I
have installed Office Pro 97 on my new PC (XP Home) and
can create a new database, no problem. All I need to do
is transfer my old database files from the old PC to the
new one. They will go on a floppy OK but when I try to
open them I get a "unrecognized database format" message.

I am using the same Office 97 software on the new PC that
I installed on the old PC but it doesn't recognise the
files from the old PC.

I have tried importing data from the old file into a new
database but get the same message. (I have used a
different floppy but still no good).

I have just dealt with the old "not licensed" problem and
now I have this new one to annoy me.

Please help.
