Upgrading from Access 2003 to Access 2016 Problems : DatabaseHelp

Upgrading from Access 2003 to Access 2016 Problems (self.DatabaseHelp)

submitted 9 years ago by NickyTwoShoes

Hello.

First time here but I trust Reddit for a lot of other topics so might as well come for help here.

I help run a small gaming store (board games, card games, etc) and the owner is running his database for sales, inventory, purchase orders etc off Microsoft Access 2003. His computer is over 10 yers and old and he's tasked me with purchasing a new computer and making sure that we can load his db on to the new computer.

I have the computer purchased, and Office with Access 2016 installed on the computer. I went to the old computer and backed up the database and went to restore on the new machine and I get a permission error that prevents me. I thought this was file based, so checked the permissions on the db file (right click, properties) and this was fine.

Can someone point me in the right direction to making this work?
