[Dxbase] CONVERT TO ACCESS 2000 -- REASON WHY - de Joe wa6axe

[Joe WA6AXE]

Bill,

Thinking about possibly what is going on here -- if you try to take the
file from the ZIP program (without actually EXTRACTING it) -- and you
call for OPEN (when you right click-on the file name within the ZIP
program) -- that action will cause WHATEVER version of Microsoft
ACCESS that YOU HAVE on your computer to try and OPEN the
mdb file (in this case my scratchpad.mdb file) -- in your case, you
apparently have ACCESS2000 on your computer ..

What you have to do is to EXTRACT the file(s) by going to the
ZIP program's Main Menu - and under the menu title of ACTION -
get the drop-down menu's that are under ACTION and one of the
dropdown menu's title is  EXTRACT ... use that function vice the OPEN.
