    access 2000 vs 365

    Since installing office 365 I'm unable to log into a access db. Says "invalid user". I've checked that I can log into the server with my current user and password, and even tried adding a new user to no avail. any ideas? I used to access the DB by using access 2000

    Access 2000 and earlier cannot be read by any version later than access 2013. If you want to continue to use it you need to convert it to a minimum of 2003 (which I sure will stop being supported in the not too distant future) so ideally 2010. If you haven't got one of these versions, you will need to find someone who still has a version who can convert if for you. I use 2010 so if you send me the db, I should be able to do that for you.

    Note in the conversion there are a fair number of things which will no longer work - typically the menu system was changed to a ribbon, and wdb no longer works, so once converted you will need to write new code to provide the same functionality if you use these things. Not something I would be prepared to do as a favour.

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