[DXBase] Operator column

2004年5月03日 17:56:24 -0500

Jim,
I have the Access 2000 Pro (Microsoft Office 2000 Pro version) - and
with the Pro version, you can save the file under the "old" version
(that being Access 97) -- But, I am guessing that the Basic Access 2000
might not have that feature..
With the Pro version - if someone accidentally saves their MDB file
using Basic Access 2000 -- you can "correct" that problem - by
converting the MDB file back to Access 97 version..
Just wanted to pass this info as FYI.
