microsoft access

I had developed a program concerning Laboratory Product Development  in Access database and Visual basic  in the year 2000.                                            At present I am working with Windows 11 operating system  but the program does not open.        I would be obliged if you could advice me on how to start the program.

    How are you trying to start the application?

    What does happen? Nothing? Errors? Something else?


    Where is the accdb located? On your local computer, or in a folder on a network?

      Kind Attention:
      Im opening the Access database from a computer laptop file folder. It does not open and gives message:
      " microsoft access
      Cannot open a database created with a previous version of your application."

    You can try converting your db to Newer Access version.
    there are some "references" (vba) that might go "missing" when opening old db to newer Office.

        sorry, I dont.
        you can try uploading your db here or on Dropbox/Onedrive/Google drive, and I will try to convert it for you.
