Default need help I don't know how to do this - 07-07-2010 , 10:08 AM






Again we have an access 2007 database and they want me to convert it
to 2003.

Like before the person put in everything neet and cool she could find
that is pure 2007 junk....file attachments and links to other programs
that are not even used.
JUST A BUNCH OF CRAP

so 2007 can't just convert it to 2003 because of all this junk in it.
There are 20 forms and about that many tables and I can't go thru it
all to delete stuff I don't even know what or why its there.
Is there a way to copy all the tables and forms out of this database
and put them in a 2003 database. Let it drop what it can't read or
deal with.

God there has to be some way to do this.

Have you tried creating a blank database in Access 2003 format and
clicking on "External Data > Import" (or something like that)?

yea and half the forms and tables are not exportable because of
invalid format.

Every time I see this all I can say is wow its a much fluf and crap as
win7.

These people use links to presentaitons that do not exit. Storage of
file attachments and a bunch of crap on the forms etc that do nothing
but "oh new junk" that no one uses and then we need it to work and
someone is supposed to take all this crap out.

One form that I looked at and started taking crap out had email and
exports and all kinds of buttons on the main form. I asked what it was
for. She didn't have an idea but it was new and you can put all kinds
of crap in. Then someone else (me) is supposed to get rid of this junk
and make it work.
