Solved Database Conversion Request (1 Viewer)

[Mile-O]

HI All,

I've found a dataset online that's been archived back in 2003 using the old Access 97 .mdb format/extension.

Since backward capability this format was done away with back with Access 2013, I can't open the dataset to use it.

Is anyone still working with a Access 2003/2007/2010 (or has a separately installed instance) that can convert the attached file to .accdb?

I use 2007?
You are correct, the link does not work.
Despite logging in, I get the File does not exist?

The download is here. It may ask for a name/email address, but I reckon you can enter anything. It's an old archived page off a university site.

Survey Database, Survey of Scottish Witchcraft, Scottish History, School of History and Classics, The University of Edinburgh, Scotland

Though I'm not sure how you can get it back to me...other than email or transfer site....

use 2007?

Here is the accdb. I used the University link.
I assume you can get at the Word document?

Thanks so much. Really appreciated.

Yes, the Word doc is no issue.

I'm currently on a Mac, and apps can at least convert Word. I'll be able to take this old dataset and play around with it in Tableau now.
