    Access 2000 to Access 2007/2010 conversion

    HELP!



    We have an Access 2000 database (that's right - 2000), that we need to convert to Access 2007/2010 format. Unfortunately, the DB creator is no longer with the company, and the sysadmin is not an Access-person. So, I have been tasked with it. Is there a way to change the creator of a database, without actually BEING the creator? Copying it just brings it over with the same creator. Apparently, the security is set up so that only certain users can access it, and they can't access the "guts" of the DB, just through the screens - all other access is denied. I can't even get that far. I get this, when I try to open it -

    You need a new sysadmin! Sad! It's not a Access issues, it's a permission issue that needs to be addressed by a competent admin. Not that hard to do. If you Google it you could learn how to do it. Suggest you contact someone else at the company and explain issue.

    There was a question like this in July of this year.

    They resolved their issue using tools at this site: https://www.thegrideon.com/
    Looks like the standard version might do the trick. About $45 for the business version......

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
