Converting Files in Access


    The MS Office 97 version of Access does not support the pasting of the Unicode clipboard format.  Therefore, the conversion utility is not operational with Access 97. 

   Follow these steps to convert an .mdb file in Access 2000:

Excel MsgBox

You may see this message box where '22' could be any number of records.  Please Note:  it is a good idea to make a copy of a .mdb file before you attempt to convert it!  Once you hit the YES button, your previous data is GONE!!

   The first row of the table after the converted records have been pasted in will contain the converted column names.  You can simply delete the first row.
