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.
would you know of any Microsoft partner software developers in the Cyprus Houston area whom I could refer and take advice. Thanking you
- 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.- 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.
