    mdb to accdb


    Supposedly, to convert an Access .mdb to a .accdb, just save it as a .accdb. I tried that and got up the form to save it as an accdb and saved and got nothing new where I specified to save. Why?

    It isn't clear what process you used. Here's the way I do it.

    That's exactly what I did. No <filename>.accdb

    also check where you are creating the new file - are you looking in the right place?

    Did you complete the Save As dialog after pressing the Save As button?
    If no ACCDB file really is being created, perhaps there are compile errors preventing this happening? Check the file compiles

    Hi Dougharter,

    Your questions is not very clear but I think you want to convert your mdb file to accdb file.
    You can follow this article for better understanding - https://community.spiceworks.com/how...-open-mdb-file

    Best Regards.

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