Boy that is interesting. Thanks for that.
Let me ask this. I have tried following these instructions:
"To convert an Access 2000 or Access 2002 - 2003 database (.mdb) to the .accdb file format, you must first open the database by using Access 2007, Access 2010, Access 2013, or Access 2016, and then save it in the .accdb file format.
Click File, and then click Open.
Click the Access 2000 or Access 2002 - 2003 database (.mdb) that you want to convert.
Note: If the Database Enhancement dialog box appears, the database is using a file format that is earlier than Access 2000. To continue, see the section Convert an Access 97 database to the .accdb format.
Click File, click Save As, and then click Save Database As.
Choose the Access file type, and then click Save As.
If any database objects are open when you click Save As, Access prompts you to close them prior to creating the copy. Click Yes to make Access close the objects, or click No to cancel the entire process. If needed, Access will also prompt you to save any changes.
In the Save As dialog box, type a file name in the File name box, and then click Save.
Access creates the copy of the database, and then opens the copy. Access automatically closes the original database."
To try to convert this database to an .accdb format but after I use the "Save database as" option the only file format I am offered is the .mdb one. How do I get it to offer me the .accdb format?
