how to convert access database from mdb to accdb

[murray83]

hi peeps

quick question, i have googled the above and each one says open the database and close any open bits and click save as and chose the newer version.

well mine doesn't show that, see attached, how else can i update or would it be quicker to make a new blank DB and then just export from old into the new one ???

Just use the backstage view by clicking on the File menu in Access.
The next part is different in each version.

For example, this is from Access 365:

Or if using A2010:
