ChemPoint can not Read MS Access 2000 Databases
Symptom:
When you try to import a data with the
Universal Converter, you get the error "Unrecognized File
Format" when selecting a Microsoft Access database. This may
happen if the database is in MS Access 2000 format.

Solution:
1. First you will need an updated version of
ChemPoint. In ChemPoint, go to Help | About and check the version of
ChemPoint. You must have version 4.0.4.1 or later with an executable
file creation date of April 10, 2001 or later. If you have an earlier
version, obtain the most recent update from Starpoint Software, and see if
the problem is resolved.
2. If the problem
persists, you will need to install some Microsoft libraries on your
system. You will need Microsoft Data Access Objects (DAO) version
3.6.

You
will also need to install version 4.0 of the Microsoft Jet Database
Engine, included with MDAC version 2.5.
You can
download MDAC version 2.4 here:

I
am sorry that this procedure is so complicated. You can blame
Microsoft for this..
