ACC2000: Cannot Use Legacy Database Templates with Access 2000
This article was previously published under Q231839
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
This article applies only to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb).
For a Microsoft Access 2002 version of this article, see

.
If you have versions of Microsoft Access earlier than Access 2000 on the same computer that you install Microsoft Access 2000 on, you may see templates used for creating legacy databases when you create a new database in Access 2000. When you try to use a database template from an earlier version of Microsoft Access in Access 2000, you may receive the following error message:
You have chosen a database template file that is not supported in the current version of Microsoft Access.
Database templates built for earlier versions of Microsoft Access are not compatible with, nor can they be used in Microsoft Access 2000.
Only use Access 2000 database templates in Access 2000. To create a database by using an Access 2000 database template, follow these steps:
- Open Microsoft Access 2000.
- In the Microsoft Access dialog box, under Creating a new database using, click to select Access database wizards, pages, and projects.
- Click OK.
- Click the Databases tab.
- Select any of the database templates displayed, and then click OK to build it.
The
New File dialog box is an interface common to all of the Microsoft Office 2000 program. Other Microsoft Office 2000 programs can create documents by using earlier versions of a document template; however, Microsoft Access 2000 cannot.
For more information about creating a database using database templates, click
Microsoft Access Help on the
Help menu, type
Create Database in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click
Search to view the topic.
