    Question Convert from old access version to 2013

    Good Evening!



    I am hoping someone may be able to help me. I am trying to convert an older access database to access 2013, but none of the methods I have found online seem to work for me. Can any offer me help or suggestions? (The old file extension is .mdb)

    Please and Thanks

    You need to say how old and what 'not working' means. Errors? Messages? Converts but you can't open?
    My guess is that there are at least 6 versions older than what you want to convert to. Someone with multiple versions on hand might have to do it for you, but in stages.

    I have and use 2007 which will convert mdb files. Then later versions can upgrade that accdb I believe.?

    It depends what version the MDB file was created in.
    Access 2013 can convert anything created in A2000 or later.
    However, as already mentioned, anything earlier than that will need to be converted in stages.

    If it helps, I still have all versions of Access going back to v1.0 and offer a database conversion service.
