After the process is complete, you can choose to rename the Repository 2.0 database using the same name as that of the Repository 1.0 database. If you accept this option, the Repository 1.0 database filename will be modified with the "_old" string, for example, MyV1.mdb becomes MyV1_old.mdb. This option is explained in the dialog box in following figure.
