[DXBase] Operator column

Mon, 3 May 2004 21:39:59 -0400

Joe,
Thanks for the info. My sister has the 2000 pro version. I'll check it and
make sure that it can save in 97 format before I try to change the logs
(using her computer). The only versions I have are 2-3 years older than 97,
which probably wouldn't work.
73,
Stan, W4AG

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.
