Newbie question - sorry. I have an Access 2000 database on an old computer
and I want to transfer the database and all the records to a new computer. I
don't see an easy way to do this. Would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks.
If it will fit, copy the .mdb file onto a floppy disk.

If it is too large for a floppy ....
If your old computer has a CD writer, simply write all of your .mdb
files onto a CD. Then copy them to your new computer. Note.. all these
files will be Read-Only. Simply right-click on each one and select
properties. Un-check the Read-only box.

If your old computer doesn't have a CD writer, why not just email them
to yourself as an email attachment. Then download them into your new
computer. You would want to first Compact the database, then ZIP it if
you have WinZip or an equivalent program to compress the files.
