To all:
The reason that I put the original zip file for Access Maintainer
up on my website is because - when you search for that program on
the Internet, most of the LINKS send you directly to the
www.gracemere.com
website -- and, there is no place that I have found - where they
"still" have copies of the Access Maintainer program that "is OK"
for your DXbase MDB file...
At the www.gracemere.com website, you will find the latest and greatest
version of Access Maintainer, BUT, there is a BIG warning to "not"
use that version if you have an Acess97 based MDB file (such that we
have in Dxbase)...
Here is the warning:
//quote//
WARNING: Do not use this program with Access 97 replica databases.
Microsoft has more on this issue at
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q247/4/89.asp.
//unquote//
Then, once you go to that LINK, they say
//quote//
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Access 97, when you try to open a replica that you have
compacted with Microsoft Access 2000, you receive the following error
message:
Reserved Error (-1038) There is no message for this error
Then, the database is not opened.
CAUSE
Compacting a Microsoft Jet 3.5 replica with Microsoft Jet 4.0 (Access
2000) makes the database unusable in Access 97.
//unquote//
I hope that by having the Access97 Maintainer available at my website
will at least help some people who want to "compact" their DXbase
MDB file..
