I need some help, a bit of an emergency

I've got some work I need to be doing with an access database that's been sent to me, only problem is I've only got Access 97 at home and this is in a later versions format.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone out there with a newwer version of access could open it and save it again in a 97 friendly file?
It'd be much appreciated.

Oy!

I was being serious!

* But have just looked and found that for some reason my installation of Office 2000 doesn't have Access.
Criminy!

I knew that

I have my spyware on your computer. Access is now named 'Titwank.exe' and has databases of goat leper porn on your hard drive. The police have been called too....

I'll r4thur you

I can't promise but I'll try - I might get called away from my desk, but if you mail it to me I'll try and get it done this evenign before I go.

if someone else volunteers as well, send it to them too, just in case. No harm in making sure!

EDIT: You're not on there and I have to run, so arthur me a location to download the file from and I can try? I don't want to chuck my email on here

it's emailing to you now

I got the following error:

-------------------
Title: Multiple Site Car Hire Facility
-------------------
Message: Your computer is missing at least one of the Microsoft Access 97 object libraries. Your converted database will not work until you open this database using Access 97 and then fix any missing references.

Press OK to continue saving this database in the Access 97 format with missing references, or press Cancel if you no longer wish to save this database.
-------------------

Hopefully it'll work if you have the DLLs at home, or at least give you the data with just a few fix ups to do?

Good luck with it!
