If you use an existing database in the Access 2.0 format (.mdb), or the Access 95 format (.mdb) in some cases you can import tables, queries, and macros from that database into a more current version of Access that uses the .accdb file format.
Access 2007 was the last version to support opening, importing, linking or exporting to Access 2.0 and Access 95. You will need Access 2007 in order to be able to export, import or link data from Access 1.0 and 2.0 (Red 2, or Jet 2) files and Access 95 databases. In this case, you'll have to use Access 2007 as an intermediary step to fully convert an Access 2.0 database to one of these versions.
You can import tables, queries, and macros from an Access 2.0 database into an Access 2007 database (.accdb). To import forms, reports, or modules into an Access 2007 database, you first convert the database by using an earlier version of Access, then open the converted database by using Access 2007, and then convert the database into an Access 2007 .accdb file format database. See the section Convert an Access 2.0 or Access 95 database by using Access 2003, Access 2002, or Access 2000 for more information.
When you import objects from another database, copies of the objects that you import are created in the destination database. The source is not altered. To import data from an Access 2.0 database into Access 2007, you first open the database that you want to import the data into. You then use commands on the External Data tab to proceed with the import process, which includes invoking the Import Wizard.
In the File name text box of the Get External Data Wizard, type the name of the source database, or click Browse to display the File Open dialog box and then choose or type the name of the source database.
Access copies the data and displays error messages if it encounters any problems. If the operation succeeds in importing the data, the final page of the wizard allows you to save the details of the operation as an import specification for future use.
To import data from an Access 95 database into Access 2007, you first open the Access 2007 database that you want to import the data into. You then use commands on the External Data tab, which involves invoking the Import Wizard.
You can import tables, queries, and macros from an Access 95 format (.mdb) database into an Access 2007 database (.accdb). You can also import forms and reports that do not use VBA code. To import forms and reports that contain VBA code (and also modules), first convert your Access 95 database to the Access 2002 - 2003 or Access 2000 file format by using Microsoft Office Access 2003, Access 2002, or 2000, and then use Access 2007 to convert that file to the Access 2007 .accdb file format.
In the File name box of the Get External Data Wizard, type the name of the source database, or click Browse to display the File Open dialog box and then choose or type the name of the source database.
You can convert an Access 2.0 database to the Access 2000 or Access 2002 - 2003 file format by using one of the versions of Access listed in the following table, provided that you purchased that version of Access and installed it on your computer. Depending on your version of Access, the Access 2.0 converter should already be installed.
This version requires downloading and installing the Access 2.0 Converter for Access 2003. However, this tool is no longer available on Microsoft Download Center because Access 2003 is out of extended support.
You should convert the Access 2.0 or Access 95 file to the Access 2000 or Access 2002 - 2003 .mdb file format. You can then use Access 2007 to convert the resulting file to the Access 2007 .accdb file format. You can then use the database in Access 2007 or open it in Access 2010, Access 2013, or Access 2016. Depending on your older version of Access, take the following steps:
I frequently want to share Windows network paths to files with other folks on my team via email or chat. We have a lot of mapped drives here, both ones we set up ourselves and ones set up by our IT overlords. What I'd like to be able to do is to copy the full real path (not the drive letter) from Windows Explorer to send to folks.
Example: I have a file in my "Q:" drive, \\cartman\users\emueller, and I want to send a link to the file foo.doc therein to coworkers. When I copy the file path (shift+right click, "copy as path") it gets the file name "Q:\foo.doc" in the clipboard. This is unhelpful to others, who would need to see \\cartman\users\emueller\foo.doc to be able to consume the link.
In Explorer it clearly knows the full path - in the address bar I see "Computer -> emueller (\\cartman\users) (Q:) ->". Is there a way to say "hey man copy that path as text with the \\cartman\users\emueller not the Q: in it?"
I know I could just set up mapped network locations instead of the mapped drives for the ones that I set up personally and avoid this problem, but most of the mapped drives like the "users" share come from our corporate IT policy and can't be overridden. I could just make a separate network location and then ignore my Q: drive but that's inconvenient (and they do it so they can move accounts across servers). Sure my emailed path might eventually break because I'm losing the drive letter indirection but that's OK with me.
After much searching I found a context menu extension named Path Copy Copy on GitHub ( ) which is an extended version of a similar, older extension (called Pathcopy) has quite a few options for copying paths as text, including one for UNC paths -- example of the options available are shown below:
You can also choose to show only one or two lines on the base context menu, for example you can have two lines, Copy Long Path, and Copy Long UNC Path. It's great for emailing users in your company who have access to a network path, and if they have the same network mapping as you, you can choose the former, otherwise you can use the latter.
Update: As of version 12.0, a new "portable" installer is available on the above site, which installs only for the current user into the AppData\Local folder. I've not tried this, but it could be solution for those who are prohibited from installing normally.
The problem here is that one may map a network share to Drive Y whereas someone else in the organization may have the same network share mapped as Drive X; therefore, sending a link such as Y:\mydirectory may not work for anyone else except me.
As the OP explains, Explorer does show the actual path in the Explorer bar, but you cannot copy it (typing is tedious and prone to errors, so this is not an option) even if you choose copy as path from the context menu:
So the solution I came up with (by copying someone else's code) was a little C# program that you can call from a context menu in Explorer and will allow you to translate the Mapped drive letter to the actual UNC path.
Type in the UNC path desired and click Next twice. This adds an entry that shows up in left pane of Windows Explorer below the mapped drives, but it works just like a mapped drive and shows up that way in the Save dialog of applications.
In Windows Explorer, navigate through that entry to the desired sub-directory and click in the blank area to the right of the bread crumbs path display in the top of the Windows Explorer screen and the UNC path appears and is highlighted.
Save this in your sendto folder, mine is in C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxID\SendTowith a name like Copy UNC Filepath.vbs (must end .vbs)Now when you right click on a folder or file it will copy the UNC to the clipboard. Our personal folder is the F drive and so it doesn't convert either C: or F:
If your sharing documents with large number of users, something like Microsoft SharePoint may be a better solution as offers a web interface (with WebDAV for UNC style access) and offers built in tools to alert other users to documents.
If you unmap the drive as a drive letter, then re-add it instead as a "network location" (i.e. right click "Computer" on the Explorer Window and select "Add a network location") Type in the full path for the folder. Going forward it will display the full path in the address bar. However, applications that depend upon the drive as a letter may fail.
