Can not open ms database 2003 format with MS Access 2016
I converted my MS Access database to 2002-2003 format, opened it in MS 2010 and saved it as a .accdb.
According to MS I should be able to open it. It has a workgroup file and I am opening it using ms access 2016 (32 bit) version. I am getting the error message "can not open a database with a previous version of your application".
I was wondering if I have to convert the workgroup also .mdw? I don't see where you would make this conversion. I get the same error message with or without invoking the mdw when opening the .accdb file.

Maybe you have saved it in the old format giving it the accdb extension. Otherwise it will work. The mdw file is not used with ACE - the new database version.
