Convert a previous-version data access page

A page created using Microsoft Access 2000 must be converted before it can be used with a later version.

Note  You must install Microsoft Office 2000 Web Components that is included with Microsoft Office 2000 or Microsoft Office XP on your computer before you attempt to convert the page.

  • In Access 2002 or later, open the page in Design view.

    Access will create a backup copy of the page (pagefilename.bak.htm) at the same location as the original data access page file.

Notes

  • If you want to revert to the previous version of the page, delete the converted file, rename the backup copy, and then connect the page to the database.
  • If the data access page includes any Microsoft Office Web Components (a PivotTable list, chart, or spreadsheet), only users with a valid Microsoft Office license will be able to use those components.
