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.

      The 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.
