I have an upgrade CD for Access 97 but it needs to see proof that I have an old version in order to load. I have versions 1.0 & 2.0 but no floppy drive in the new computer. I can't justify the purchase of Access for the few old databases I have. I bought "open office" but it is having a problem reading the 97 databases. That's why I'm looking for a converter. I ordered a "USB floppy" drive and I intend to try reloading 2.0 if I don't find another way to convert then. Thanks Ron
