I have inherited an Access 2003 database with user level security. that is, an mdb file with a corresponding MDW file.
I want to use this database in access 2007 or access 2010, or at least make a copy of it and modify it.
But I am unable to copy or export any of the objects, or open certain objects in Design view. I get the message "You do not have exclusive access to the database at this time....you do not have permission to 'form...'....you must have Read Design permission for it.
I have done some research on the internet and it sounds like I will need a copy of Access 2003 (program). Is that true? Do I have any other options?
Or, is there anyway I can open/run the mdb file along with the corresponding mdw file in Access 2007 or Access 2010?
