Opening old MS Access Files

[Casey]

I have been using an old version of MS Access [Ver 1.10] and recently
bought Access 2000 because I had to upgrade to play on my laptop which
has Win XP. The Access 2000 program installed properly but I cannot
open the old database files. When I try I get the error message, "This
operation is not supported for Microsoft Access 1.X databases". Can
anyone suggest a way I can recover those old database files on my new
system?

If you don't have Access 2.0 installed or available, you might find someone
at your local user group* or elsewhere who does, or you might be able to
purchase an inexpensive copy on one of the online auction sites.
