[DXBase] Operator column

Tue, 4 May 2004 07:00:39 -0700

I have Office XP Pro, which includes Access 2002. I can open my .mdb file
but it won't allow me to save it, as best I can tell, in the original
format, unless I convert it first. I was playing with a backup copy of my
DXbase 2004 file with the program closed.

Actually, you can. I posted on this before. If you have DXBase open when
you make changes in the database with Access 2000, the changes *are* made.
At least with DXB2004, it worked that way for me.
As always, back up, back up, back up....
