transfer data sheet from Access 2003 to 2013 - ms-access

I tried different ways to open a data sheet that had been created in access 2003 on access 2013 and I got this error "cannot open a database created with previous version of your application".
I also tried to import it to excel and then import it to access 2013, but that's not working cause it didn't transfer all the forms and data completely.

It seems to be in the old mdb format, right?
As far as I know, you need Access 2007 or Access 2010 to be able to open and convert it.

Scatter plot with Microsoft Access [duplicate]

I would like to create a scatter plot in an Access form. The data will be illustrated from selected probands in the frontend MS Access application.
I am working with Microsft 365. I thought I could copy an Excel Graph (scatter plot) into an Access form and then I would modify the data using VBA.
How could I modify the data for the Excel chart in Access?
In the past, I had used MS Graph Chart object. However, in Microsft 365 the old MSGraph.Chart.8 version does not works very well. Also, I could not update the MSGraph Chart.
In MS Access 2003 and MSGraph.Chart.8 it worked with
select GAdecimal,weight,P3,P10,P25,P50,P75,P90,P97 from q1_wt_chart
Could someone please help me how to modify the plot data in a way that it updates for selected probands.
Thanks

SSRS OLEDB CSV source not working unless share has full control to Everyone. Excel works on a share with Read Only access though

I have a report that uses a CSV file as a datasource. In Visual Studio, I can point it at the file on a share and it works. When I deploy it to the SSRS server though, it brings back an error:
The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file 'forecast.csv'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
Putting the file onto a share which has Everyone granted Full Control, it works. This is obviously not an acceptable security situation. I am using the following OLEDB connection string:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source="\\server\share\Apps\Folder1\Folder2\DEV\SSRS\Report Foo";Mode=Read;Extended Properties="text;HDR=YES;FMT=CSVDelimited"
Of interest, another report that uses an xls file as data source works on a share that does not have Everyone Full Control access. I initially thought that it was a DFS issue but it is actually that the share needs Everyone to have Full Control. Setting the share to Full Control for the user doesn't work, it has to be Everyone
I have logged this as a bug with Microsoft

Error on Access 2007 when trying to open tables which have been linked to Share Point with Access 2013

I have this Access 2007 database, which I can work fine with on both Access 2007 and 2013. I have Access 2013, my client has Access 2007.
I have moved my tables to a sharepoint site using my version of Access (2013). When I open the file on my client PC (Access 2007) I get an error when I try to open a table: "The Microsoft Office Access database engine could not find the object 'Object name'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly."
Before I move the tables to sharepoint, I can use the database on both versions of Access. After doing it, I cant.
"To work around this problem, programmatically delete the table relationships before you use the RefreshLink method to update the linked table."

VBA Create PDF in background

I'm maintaining a VBA application in Access and a big part of this program is to make PDF's and email. I've already coded to create a PDF with PDF995, but the problem is that it keeps prompting where to save and a bunch of other questions.
Is there any solution that allows me to create PDF's in the background without prompting the user anything? I know where it needs to be saved, I know how it's going to be named, so that's not the problem.
Which Access version are you using?
In Access 2007 and above you can create PDF files out of the box, without stuff like prompting where to save.
Here's an example:
Execute Access 2007 Report and Export that Report to PDF Programmatically?
Note that in Access 2007, you have to install an add-in in order for this to work!
For Access 2003 and below, there's Steven Lebans' ReportToPDF.

Minimize in Access 2007 Macro

I have an Access 2003 project that I am trying to open in Access 2007. The first action I take is a Macro with the action Minimize, followed by executing a module that opens my starting form. This is so the user only see the opening form and not any of the access tables. However when I open the project in Access 2007, the minimize does not work, the tables show. What am I doing wrong?
Two things to try:
Ensure macros are enabled in the trust center (under access options in the main menu) in Access 2007
Ensure your minimize macro is named AutoExec in Access 2003
