Converting a Database

Hi -

I have started working with a group of people who are having problems
opening what appears to be a '97 Access database. When they try to open it in
Access 2003, the "convert" dialog box appears. After clicking OK to convert,
the following message appears:

"This operations is not supported for Microsoft Office Access1.x database."

We cannot get the database to convert or open. Does anyone know what this
means?

They do not know what information is contained in the database, would like
to view it, and are also concerned about creating new databases that will not
open in future versions.

Thank you for any feedback you can provide.

Pos tthis to the Access newsgroups and give them more detail if you can.
