The CDs use Access 97. The problem arises if you have a more recent version of Access. To get it to work for me, I copied the files to my hard drive and then when I opened them the first time I had to do a conversion (to the more recent version of Access). Then choose the option that you'll always use this more recent version of Access (this is so that you don't have to do the converson each time you open the program).

Some individuals do not have the access program, such as myself. I use MSWorks database. Wanda

thanks so much Sherri AND EVERYONE WHO EMAILED WITH HELP!!!! finally got in to the death CD... DID ANYONE HEARD A HORN BLARE? HAD TO GO TO MICROSOFT AND USE THEIR WEBSITE TO DOWNLOAD ACCESS, not sure if it was 97 but it updated and WOOLAH, was able to read the CD. NOW I'M READY TO HELP WITH LOOK-UPS ON THIS KY DEATHS 1911-1999 CD (altho, i haven't found any deaths earlier than 1918...). If anyone wants me to find a death on this CD, please email me. Am so happy to be able to help. Thanks again to all of you!!!! God bless, charlotte Sherri <ldrbelties@earthlink.net> wrote: The CDs use Access 97.
