Convert Access 2003 to 2000 "Don Stone" <don[ at ]hisway.cc> 11/7/2008 9:51:08 PM I have two very similar Access databases in the 2003 format. I must convert each to the 2000 format. One database converted without any difficulty. The other one gives me an error message: "The report name 'DirDataCopy' you entered in either the property sheet or macro is misspelled or refers to a report the doesn't exist". From what I find in a couple of forums, I am not the only one who has received the message. Can someone please point me to some kind of a solution? Or, at least give me some kind of idea as what to look for in my database?

Turn off Name AutoCorrect, and set minimal references. Then import the objects from the problem database. If all goes well, decompile and compact. Then see if you can open this new one in A2000, and compile. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
