Default Convert Access 2003 database file to Access 2010 - 08-16-2010 , 09:13 AM






How do you convert a Access 2002-2003 database file to a Access 2010
file format?

According to Microsoft (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/
convert-a-database-to-the-accdb-file-format-HA010341552.aspx?
queryid=34ea405f95aa4cb8b8ffb2764afb4993&respos=0& CTT=1) it is
possible. When I tried this on the file tab it only displays the print
options only.

How can I get the save, save & publish, and other commands to display?

My 2002-2003 Access database file has 3 tables, 19 queries, 5 forms,
and 16 reports. After I open the file up it gives the "Security
Warning: Soame active content has been disabled. Click for more
details." then there is a button "Enable Content". Before and after I
click the "Enable Button" the file tab only has print options
available.

Thank you for your help,
jfcby

It's a bit confusing, as when you follow the instructions, after
opening the db you want to convert, it looks like the FILE tab is
already selected, but it's not -- you have to select it explicitly,
and then you should get a menu with that choices the cited article
describes.

You should go to the Trust Center and add the location of this
database to the trusted locations. You get there by choosing OPTIONS
on the FILE menu, then selecting TRUST CENTER.
