I got an application whose database is access 2.0 , I have lots of data to
import from a excel 5.0, But when I open this database with access 2000, I
found the imort option is grey. How can i import data? should i find a
access 2.0 to open it ?
 
Hi,

You would need to convert the database file to Microsoft Access 2000 file
format.

But i have to use that old program to visit the access 2.0 database. so i
can not upgrade it, I just want to import quicker, not input one by one on
the monitor.

Hi,

Try this:

1)Create a new database in Access 2000.

2)Use linked tables (File|Get External Data|Link) in the new database to
access the table(s) in the Access 2.0 database

3)Import or link the Excel data.

4)Use a query to move the Excel data into the linked table(s).
