Problems importing reports from Access 2.0

[rodenm]

I am trying to convert an Access 2.0 database to 2000. However, it fails when converting the reports, giving the following messages:

"Microsoft Access can't add, rename or delete the control(s) you requested."

"Microsoft Access failed to create the visual basic module 'Report_report name'. If your database is on a network drive, check your network connection, and then tru again"

"Microsoft Access failed to convert or enable your code modules."

I have tried everything, from changing the owner to the Admin account, assigning all permissions to the Admin account, importing the reports into a new Access 2000 database & even drag & drop. All my attempts have failed.

Thanks

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.
