The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYModerate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills. When you run the Setup program for Microsoft Access 97 on a computer that also has Microsoft Access 2.0 or 7.0 and Microsoft Graph 5.0 installed, and you include the Microsoft Graph 8.0 components in the Setup options, any existing Microsoft Graph 5.0 objects that you edit are upgraded to the newer version of the Microsoft Graph object. Once a graph object is upgraded to the newer version, you can no longer open the graph on a computer that has only Graph 5.0 installed. This article describes how to change a graph object back to its original format so that you can opened it in Microsoft Access 2.0. You must have a copy of both Microsoft Access 2.0 (which contains the Graph 5.0 component) and Microsoft Access 97 (which contains the Graph 8.0 component) available on the computer that you are using to convert the graph files before the update will work. NOTE: Using the SaveAsOldFileFormat method doesn't change the file format of the graph. It just makes it readable by Graph 5 so that you do not get a Registry error. You will not be able to make changes to the graph and you cannot use the graph in a report that changes the graph for each record.
MORE INFORMATIONWARNING: This article assumes that the graphs you change back will be used on a computer that has Microsoft Access 2.0 only. If you are planning to use the graph objects on a computer that has both Microsoft Access 97 and Microsoft Access 2.0, changing the graph objects back will do no good because once the graph is reopen on that computer, it will be converted to Graph 8.0. To change your updated graph back to its original format, follow these steps:
