You don't want to convert formats. As you have learned, DXBase operates with an earlier Access (98) format.
You can view your .mbd in Access 2000 however, and you can use Access to make changes to your DXBase .mdb (such as find and replace) if you have the .mdb open in DXBase and Access 2000 _at the same time_ and you ignore the convert option when opening the database. Close Access first without saving the file. The changes remain in the .mdb and are saved when you close DXBase. ALWAYS backup your main database before doing this kind of thing.
