- moiza980Jan 30, 2023Copper ContributorThe program was originally in Fortran on a PDP 11 Computer. Later it was converted to Access Data base in the year 2000.
The program concerns Research and Development for the Paint and Coating Laboratory and allied industries.
At present it does not start in windows 11 laptop.
Kindly give detailed advice.
I would be obliged if a personnel from Microsoft would have a look at the program.- George_HepworthFeb 01, 2023Silver Contributor
- George_HepworthJan 30, 2023Silver ContributorIt's an mdb then. It is probably in A2000 format. It can be converted to an accdb format that will run under a more recent version of Access. It might take some additional modifications once that's done.
Arnel offered to do that for you.
Microsoft will not take on the task of modifying your mdb files. That's sort of like asking the Toyota factory to repaint your 21 year old Corolla. They're not in that business. They sell the product. You maintain it once you have it. Let Arnel take a look.- moiza980Jan 31, 2023Copper ContributorThankyou for your reply.
I would be obliged if Arnel would give me step by step instructions in updating the database.
