well those 60 stadiums won`t look totally like the real ones . Have added some old ads and put an old scoreboard clock on scoreboards added some ivey in one stadium and more brick work .Done a few changes on scoreboards to .Put some black and white photos instead of color on scoreboards . Thought of putting chain link or barriers instead of some fencing but did`nt look right . These will have more color then what i would have liked .But just a different taste to add to game .

I believe if you 'save as' a new database, you're given the option to save it as a Access 97 format. It's either done that way, or via the Tools/Export method.. I forget which exactly. But Office 2k3 does provide the tools to save as an Access97 format file. You may need to just poke around the menu to find the option.

Okay, I remained quiet for some time as I wait for the results of the next patch. However i can't remain quiet on this issue. This is a poor showing in the support section. So instead of taking a look at his database file to see if the problem is at his end or if there is some limitation to the game, you are telling him to just tinker with Microsoft Access until you can find Compact and Repair. What kind of solution is that? Are you assuming that everyone is going to have Microsoft Access? That makes absolutely no sense to me at this moment.

Sure he has an updated version of Access, but for the sake of the people checking out this support section, they shouldn't be expected to solve the problem the same way if they don't have it. In my situation, I try to get as far away from Microsoft products as possible and use many open source applications such and OpenOffice, so this should not be the final solution. I am not going to buy Access to support a game. Please tell me you have another solution to this.

[font="Courier New"]Local8H,

Dreamtheatervt helped me to remember a hyprocritcial situation, I had since forgotten.

I gave away all my FootBall Games and PS2s to elementary children, I worked with as a tutor.They beganing their parents for PS2s. And now that I think about what I posted Local8H, that action puts me in Local8H situtation (I criticized him for). It is important to make, in my defense the kids never wanted Football Games and do not take me as kids into FootBall. [/font]

[font="Courier New"]grrncore,

There is no way to break through to you and I do not know how I can prove I am not him, so last address on that stupidity.

What and learn, The San Diego Chargers do not have the Franchise The Pittsburgh Steelers had, and that was even lucky/extermely rare.[:-]

I can only hope you are wrong, NE's WRing Core & QB working together works well with Mia's weak DBs. However, you probably right.[/font]

uh...this thread was about an actual game problem Local8H was having. What do the Chargers and Dolphins have to do with MS Access files...absolutely nothing.

Local8H,

Try to keep your reply threads straight. I have a hard time following your train of thought sometimes on threads when you stay on topic. I'm not flaming, just trying to get some semblance of order.

[font="Courier New"]dreamtheatervt,

Do not worry, I am done.

You do it respectfully, even with out [/font]

local8h is right.

To compact and repair a database with 2003 you have to convert it first to at least an access 2000 file.

Work around:
1. Convert the file to Access 2000 or above, saving it with a new file name. (i.e lge_usmfl2000.mdb)
2. run compact and repair on the file you just converted.
3. Convert it back to Access 97 giving it a new name (i.e. lge_usmfl97.mdb)
4. go to your Maximum football directory rename the original with a .bak extension. (i.e. lge_usmfl.bak)
5. Rename the 97 file back to the original name (i.e. lge_usmfl.mdb)
6. Cleanup and files left over (lge_usmfl97.mdb)

I know this is a major pain

[&o] but it does work (if there are not other major problems).

I do not have open office on this computer, but I'll see if I can figure out a way around it in there also.

Good luck. If you want some more help, PM me. There are other tricks we could try.

(BTW sorry not a Chargers fan, but a Bears-Chargers Super Bowl would be very cool.)

local8h,
 
Were these league files modified with Access 2000 at some point?
 

local8h · Post by **local8h** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 9:23 pm

Problem Solve,

I took SHAGGYRA and Mr. Winters advices which actually started by TBIRD,
Followed SHAGGYRAs instruction. IT Works!!!! Im on the twelved week and played and simmed 10 games and in between exited and restarted. ALL GOOD!!!!
*Original mdb file was 13.6mb and after compact and repair and renamed it went down to 6.76mb
*Now just jumping ahead, if my new .mdb file reaches that certain size, Is possible to compact and repair it again?

Marauders - No never modified it thru any Access softwares, i modified this league file using the utility that came with the game. Also the only thing i modified was the main.mdb file and thats to turn off the draft/trainning camp.

Thanks Guys.
I can always count on you.
Sorry for the inconvience.......
I'll be torturing the game again[:D]
