how to convert access database from mdb to accdb (1 Viewer)

murray83 · Aug 23, 2019

hi peeps

quick question, i have googled the above and each one says open the database and close any open bits and click save as and chose the newer version.

well mine doesn't show that, see attached, how else can i update or would it be quicker to make a new blank DB and then just export from old into the new one ???
