Please Help Guys!

This is the issue I'm trying to resolve. I need to open ACT! files dynamically at runtime using the API:

EX:(C# - .NET)

actDB = new ActOle.DATABASEClass();
actDB.Open("C:\files\actfile.dbf");

if the file is an Act! 5 or earlier version, I need to do the conversion dynamically and conitnue all within the code. I will not know what version the files are untill runtime.....how do I achieve this.

1. Convert the files dynamically at runtime if needed

2. Detect what Act! version the file is dynamically at runtime.

I will not have the luxury of opening the files in act application GUI and converting them, that option is not feasible for my purposes.
