linked tables in 97 version not showing up in 2003

We have an older database done in access 97 and some of its reports
use linked tables to another database.. it works fine when opened in
access 97.

One of the people using the database only has access 2003 installed
and when they try to open the reports it says that it can't find the
tables and they are not listed in the tables.

how can I correct this without converting everything to 2003 or some
such...it has to remain a 97 database.

thanks for any help this is rediculious as far as I am concerned.

I have never seen this behavior, but confronted with it, I would use
Tools Add-Ins Linked Table Manager in A97 and remember where it
links to. Then use File Get External Data Linked Tables in A2003
to re-establish the links.

Greetings! After finally figuring out that the Linked Table manager is no longer an add-in in Access 2003 I now discover that it does not display any of my linked tables in the 'select linked tables to be updated' list. Although I have about 30 linked tables in my application, absolutely none of them are showing up in the list. I compacted and repaired, but that didn't have any effect. Has anyone else seen this problem? If so, how is...

I am using Access 2003 and are linking to an Oracle 9i ODBC datasource (using Oracle ODBC drivers). After linking the tables in Access, I inspect the data contained in the linked tables. For tables that involve a number field as the primary key, the data is returned successfully. For tables that involve a character field (e.g. CHAR(3) or VARCHAR(10)) as the primary key, I have the correct number of rows returned, but the data displayed...

I have an Access 2000 front-end pointing at a SQL Server backend, with around 80 linked tables and views. I frequently need to point the front-end at different versions of the back-end, and achieve this by relinking the tables and views to use a different DSN. I use the Linked Table Manager > Select All > and tick the 'always prompt for a new location' box, then click OK. It correctly pops up the 'select data source' box, from which I...

I've just performed a reformat and reinstalled Access 2000 and 2003 and as usual the linked table manager in Access 2003 is broken ie. it doesn't show any tables. I've gone through the process of re-registering Accwiz.dll as outlined in the MS Knowledge Base and although this process has worked for me before, it hasn't worked this time. There are still no tables showing. The article in the knowledge base includes this line: "If the...

In an Access 97 (and 2000) database that has linked tables to Oracle which is showing some fields as text when they are numbers in Oracle. In Oracle they are specified to a size e.g. Number(38). This is causing some issues when trying join different tables in a query. How can the correct datatype be defined in Access?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
