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 Win...
It'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.

Thankyou for your reply.
I would be obliged if Arnel would give me step by step instructions in updating the database.

- You'll have to open it in an older version, probably A2003. Then convert and it to the next version mdb. Then you can open that converted mdb again in a later version, such as A2007 or A2010 and convert it to the accdb format. Or, if it can be opened as an mdb and used "as is" with the newer version of Access, that last step would be useful, but not required. The point is that you must have the full Access version that can still open the old mdb format and convert it. I have it. Arnel has it and has offered to do it. I get that you might not want to just give the mdb to someone, so if you do follow up, you should negotiate a confidentiality agreement with him. I would do the same, but he offered first.
- Thankyou again George for your reply. I would certainly like to have it completed by a confidentiality agreement, if it could be completed I would be very happy. I actually live in Mumbai India and visiting Houston.
Houston has a Microsoft office. I would be very obliged if a technical support expert would help me with the program. I would personally visit the office personnel who would be having all resources in order to activate the program.
Or would you be informed of any expert residing in Houston whom I could visit.
I would like to understand its working.
