Sorry Henry, I haven't seen a Version 1 mdb in years. I have no way to test anything on it. The only thing I can suggest is to keep doing what you're doing. I don't know what version of Access you have now, but I assume it's 97 or later. If that can't convert the V1 mdb, then I don't know what can.

I wish I could help you, but...

Alan

>>Henry, I didn't realize that it's a version 1.x mdb. I suspect that even using ADO, you might run into the same issues because of a newer version of Microsoft Data Objects on the system. I can't test it for you, but I'm guessing the Convert dialog might still pop up.
