    The conversion process can sometimes lead to problems especially if the 97mdb is in a bad state of repair to start with. You could try to….

    • Compact and repair the 97mdb and try again.
    • Copy the form from the 97mdb and paste it into the 2002mdb
    • Try importing all the old objects into a new 97mdb and then trying the conversation tool

    When you say the buttons are missing do you mean at design view or when you actually run the form? I had some minor trouble with a few OLE graphs so are they “normal” buttons or activex ones?
