Can't update front end to .accdb

[Gkirkup]

I am in the process of updating a database to 2010 (.accdb) and cannot get past a problem. We are using Access 2010.
I updated the back end data to .accdb with no problem. I can't link the front end to that data without updating the front end to .accdb as well. There are no tables in the front end.
I try to update the front end to /accdb and I get the error message 'You are trying to convert an encoded database. Decode the database, then try again.'
How do I decode the database? I tried setting a password and then unsetting it, but that made no difference. I have not previously encoded the database.
Help! I am really stuck on this one, and can't finish the update to .accdb data. The alternative is to stay with 2003 MDB data. Is that a bad thing?

How are you trying to do the upgrade?
Have you tried creating a new 2010 database, and then go to External Data and import everything from 2003?

Thank you. That worked. But now none of the programs work! I will post a separate question
