This is an XP OS newsgroup. You should ask questions about Office apps in a
newsgroup for that app, and there are newsgroups for Vista if you have
questions about that later.

Here is a list of MS public newsgroups.

On the Web
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx

For Access look at, well, the newsgroups under microsoft.public.access.

Vista newsgroups are under microsoft.public.windows.vista

Your question about office doesn't really belong here in a Windows
newsgroup, but since I'm replying anyway, I'll answer quickly: Yes,
Office 2000 can read and convert your Access 2000 files. However, you
should always be aware that whenever you do such a conversion, there
is always at least *some* risk that not everything will be converted
perfectly.

Note that I'm not aware of any such problems in this case, and I doubt
very much that there are any major problem here; I just want you to be
aware of the possibility of one.

Long Shadows - It is most likely that the Office 2007 installation will a
"Trail" copy meaning a limited time period use - evaluate the program with
data (or copies of the Accesss atat) you can afford to lose.

I think you seriously mistake the intent of those who told you it was
the wrong newsgroup. Their messages weren't reprimands, but attempts
to help you. You are far more likely to get the help you need if you
post your question to the correct newsgroup, and someone who points
that out is not reprimanding you, but trying to help by pointing you
in the right direction.

It's as if you stop your car and ask someone how to get to Chicago. If
he says "I don't know, but ask Sam over there; he knows," that's not a
reprimand, it's an attempt to help.

What about other Office files, other than Access Databases. That was NOT
answered?

Thanks Ken. I rarely if ever flame anyone. However, when I do there is doubt
cast.
