    2 things slowed me down a bit:
    1. Not having any of the linked tables
    2. Not having a default printer on my VM with Access 2000 - I had to fake a printer to open the file!

    These are the steps I did using various versions of Access:
    1. I opened it in Access 2 so I knew that was the file format
    2. Reopened in A2000 and converted the format


    3. Reopened in A2010 and converted to ACCDB - removed the utility.mda reference which doesn't exist in ACCDB files
    4. Reopened in A2016 so the references updated - otherwise should be identical to 2010 version

    Due to not having all the linked tables, I can't really check its OK. I need to leave that to you

    I'm attaching all 3 converted versions in case you have problems with any of them
    Let me know whether it seems OK & I'll then delete all files from my PC
    Omg thank you! You've saved me hours and hours of work! Good karma coming your way

    You're welcome.
    First time I've done it for anyone else so I'd forgotten that I'd need a dummy printer
    Think I may start offering this as a service via my website

    If I don't know that I don't know, I don't know whether to answer
