I am trying to open a .mde file with Access 2002 in Windows 2000 but get an
error stating " you can't convert an mde file." What could cause this.
Obviously I am an access novice.
 
Hi, Dave.

When one opens an Access database file that has been saved in Access 97 or
an earlier version, Access must do some conversion to be able to access the
data and the objects in that file. Since the file was saved as an MDE file,
this conversion cannot take place.

Try to open the MDB version of the file, and you will be prompted to convert
it to Access 2002 the first time you open it.

HTH.
