Converting databases

    I have a database created in access 97 called Library.mdb. I converted it to access 2000. I thought there were no problems until i ran my Library Application and VB could not recognise the database. I do realise that i could just re-design the whole database in 2000 and use that, however i don't have that time i'm afraid, as the database is huge. I have a backup of the old database but i need it to be converted to 2000 because for some reason my version of 97 won't accept two primary keys in the one table.
    Have any VB programmers or Access Guru's had similar problems? Is there a way around this without re-writing the database in 2000 from scratch? I'm thinking big ass companies that converted their huge databases had similar woes but they did not redo theirs. There must be a way around this!

    Are you connecting to the database through DAO? If so and you're using DAO 2.5/3.x then you need to upgrade to DAO 3.6 then change the refrences.

    AFAIK 3.6 is installed by default with VB 6 but I'm sure you can download it from somewhere.

    hope this helps.
