Hello All,
At the end of every financial year, a copy of our front end and back end are stored in an archive folder. Up until 2020, they were all in .mdb and .mde format. The old database used a System file for user login and security.
Since upgrading to Office 365 in mid 2020, all of our access files were updated to the .accdb and .accde format.
I want to access the pre 2020 backend data, however I no longer have an older version of MS Access. If I try to open a new database and import the data in, because of the System file, I get a message stating I do not have the necessary permissions.
Is there a way to get around this System file or view the data?
I can see online that there are several viewers on converter tools, however they all have a max file size. My .mdb is 150MB.
