No, it's not a dumb question - at least as far as I am concerned. I went
'round and 'round with tech support over this issue. I was told you could
read Legacy files with Access, but try as I might, I could not read them.
After they insisted that I could, and I insisted that I couldn't, they
finally mentioned that you had to use Access 2000, and I had been trying
with Access 97. Voila!!
In short, the answer is 'No, you can't read the Legacy files with Access
97'. Access 2000 works like a charm.
Good Luck
