That is not the case I have. Some mdb contain field as 'Description' without problem to convert. Some mdb with or without field as 'Description' got the message " Could not find field 'Description'" at the end. And get db1, db2 two Axxess2K mdb. When I looked at that two mdb. They looks like no problem. Need further helps! -----Original Message----- From: MartyConnelly [mailto:martyconnelly at shaw.ca] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 15:21 To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Error with converting Run this code below for each table http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;209187 ACC2000: Reserved Words in Microsoft Access Then check for reserved words or illegal characters in field names of course it could be something wierd like code originally created in alternate language version like french. Also try doing a decompile, compile and compress before converting.
