Hello,

I installed office 2003 on a windows 10 x64 machine and tried to open an access 2000 MDB file.
Access gives me the message: "The project in the visual basic database is damaged".
If I open the same MDB file with Access 2003 on Windows 7 x64 it opens normally.
I think the problem is that windows 10 uses DLLs other than windows 7 and that Access 2003 uses to open the MDB file.

How can I solve this problem ?

Thanks, Regards !
Riccardo.

    From windows 7 I tried to convert the database to Access 2003 format and to open the file from Windows 10 with Access 2003 sp1, but I get the same result:
    "The project in the visual basic database is damaged"

    Thanks.
