Access 2000 Holdings Databases and the Windows Versions of ATLA RDB
and CPLI on CD-ROM
ATLA is aware of difficulties customers may encounter while
attempting to link an Access holdings database to the Windows version of
either ATLA RDB or CPLI on CD-ROM. The difficulty occurs
when the customer is creating the holdings database using Access 2000.
Access 2000 has a significantly different back-end configuration than
Access 97, and customers may find that Access 2000 databases are not
displayed on the ATLA RDB or CPLI citation display
screens.
A solution to this problem is to convert the existing Access 2000
database to an Access 1997 database. This conversion can be performed
from within Access 2000. To perform the conversion:
- Open the Access database you wish to convert.
- Point to Database Utilities from the Tools menu.
- Select Convert Database.
- Click To Prior Database Version.
This will create a copy of the database as configured by Access 97,
and this database can then be properly linked to ATLA RDB or CPLI
on CD-ROM.
