Converting .mdb into .accdb

[MyAlex2]

Is there an easy way to convert an old ACCESS db from version 2003 to version 2010?
My ACCESS db is .mdb and I want to convert it to .accdb as version 2010. It has hundreds of modules that may take awhile to export. Exporting is the only way I know to transfer from one db to another.

Please help.

Open the db. Click on File, SaveAs

I tried your suggestion and saved it as .accdb, but when everything finished, the ACCESS db name has this "accessdbname.accdb.mdb". So it still has the .mdb extension.
How do I go around that problem?

What he meant was open the "Save As..." file dialog, then at the bottom, where you select "File Type", change it from "MS Access 2000-2003 (*.mdb)" to "MS Access 2007-2013 (*.accdb)".

I did those by memory, so I could have the wording wrong, but that's the gist of it.

Edit: If that isn't an option, look in the Database Utilities tab on the ribbon for a 'convert database' option.

Today is my first day of playing with my new installation of A2013. Until yesterday I had been using A2003, so I am far from experienced with this version but I've only just done what you are attempting and it worked fine. Can only suggest you try again.

Thank you all for the help. I was able to create a new ACCESS db with .accdb, then just do an import all of the objects from one db to another.

Thank again.
