You need to find a copy of Access 2003, open the database, and then go to Tools -> Convert Database and save as an Access 2003 database. This will then be able to be used by 2007 to 2010 in the mob format. If you wish to up-convert to the 2010 format, you'd need to then open it with an Access 2007+ version and save as the ACCDB format.

Unfortunately, the JET driver from Access 2007+ doesn't support the Jet 3.1 format from 1997.

Would you be able to find and use a copy of Access 2003?

I found a copy of Access 2003 and it will only let me convert to Access 2000 file format. Even with or without doing that the database is non-functional.

How is it non-functional? Are the tables gone? The user-interface forms? The queries? Did the database get corrupted?

How did you use it before you posted here for help?

Clearly nothing of any significance. Merely a helpful organizational database.

You have too much porn if you have been keeping an Access database since 1997 to organize it.
