ACC2000: Compilation Errors and Extended Characters in Module after Converting to Access 2000

• Microsoft Access 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you convert a database to Access 2000, you may receive the following error message:

There were compilation errors during the conversion or enabling of this database.

The database has not been saved in a compiled state. The performance of this database will be impaired because Microsoft Access will need to recompile the database for each session.

For information on improving performance, click Help.

RESOLUTION

You may be able to resolve this problem by compiling and compacting the database in Access 97.

If that does not work, try the following steps:

1. Reopen the original database in Access 97.



2. Open the module in which you saw the extended characters in Access 2000.



3. On the Edit menu, click Select All, and then on the Edit menu, click Copy.



4. Close the module.



5. Click New to create a new module.



6. If they are present, delete the Option Compare Database and Option Explicit statements, so that the entire module is blank.



7. On the Edit menu, click Paste. You see all the code appear from the old module.



8. On the File menu, click Save. You can leave the module name in the Save As dialog box unchanged. Click OK.



9. Select the old module and on the Edit menu, click Delete. A dialog box prompts you if you are sure. Click Yes.



10. Select the new module, and then on the Edit menu, click Rename.



11. Give the new module the name of your old module.



12. Close the database and try converting it again in Access 2000.
