Problems Importing Reporte They Are HIDDEN ???

[MarkDicken]

This is a good one.

I am upgrading an Access System from Version 2.0 to 2000

I can upgrade everything (Tables, Forms, Queries, etc.) but I cannot import REPORTS.

I can sort of Export them but they are HIDDEN from the Database Container. - I've looked in Options to show all hidden objects etc.

Any Ideas ...

Many Thanke In Advance,

Let me know if you ever solve this problem. Unfortunately, all of my research as the mgr of the IS department has proven that reports do not convert from any previous version of Access. Good luck.

Mark raised the problem on my behalf, which I have now solved.

The problem arose from the length of the object names. If a control on a report is given a name with 20 or more characters then the report fails to convert.

Amending the object names so they contain less then 20 characters enabled me to import all the reports I was having problems with.
