I have just upgraded to access 2002 on my computer and am
trying to open database which was created in access 97.
When i try to convert it i get a message 'cannot convert
an MDE file'
Does anyone know how I would be able to convert this
database?

Many thanks for your help

Access gives you a way to save a database as either an ".mdb" file, which is
convertible, or as an ".mde" file, which cannot be altered (nor converted).

If you want to "convert" that A97 database, you'll have to find the original
..mdb file.

Good luck!
