Re: [mdb-dev] no data from jet 3 ?

[Sam M. <pa...@gm...>]

In Access 2000, there is an option under the tools menu option to save
it as an older version of the database, so you don't need access 97 to
save databases in that format. Perhaps try using that. Also, what
language is your windows app running? if you've got access 2000
running, it shouldn't have any issues. and can you change the windows
app?
