The next problem with A2000 is that it had many service packs - do you have
them all installed?

The next thing to check is the code.
What code do you have when the database opens?
Is there an autoexec macro?
What code is on the main menu form?

One way to test the code is a method like this that I have used--
Open your database with the shift key.
Open the main form in design view and put break points on the subs and
functions.
Close the main form.
Now open the main form in form view from the database window.
When the code window opens, step through the code.
Note the first error. I don't recommend making any changes to code in break
mode, so stop the code and then fix the code.
Keep testing and fixing until it works.

Thanks Jeanette
When I opened the code and check the references the Microsoft DAO 3.6
Object
Library was already checked, I compacted and repaired a few times and the
result is the same, the Main Menu Form will not open it still thinks I
have
not converted to a newer version. Could there be something in the code
somewhere that is causing this? if so where can i find it?

Hi Brent,

the code window and check the references.
You will need to select the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library as a
reference.
After you set that reference and close the references dialog, do a
compile
and fix any errors until the code compiles.

I have just converted a database from version 97 / 2000 to MS Access
2003.
The Main menu form will not open, I get a message that I must convert
to a
newer version that 97 / 2000 and then it closes the database down. I
have
converted the database. This is the only form that will not open. I
open
the
database using the shift key and the main form will open in design
view.
Can
someone help with this problem?

Thanks
