Windows 10: EBCDIC / ASCII keymap converter for access to IBM mainframe

Hi folks
trying to connect to an IBM type of mainframe
anybody here got experience of ASCII-->EBCDIC type of keys etc and login from PC to an IBM type of mainframe.

I'm using an x3270 type of emulator to try and login but I'm stuck with keys and I'm afraid as it's Friday our " Local Helpless Desk" seems to have gone off on an early weekend !!!!! and I'm not going to struggle with the offshored one at the other side of the planet.






Cheers

Recover access database

Looks like you will need to rebuild the whole thing but at least you have the data still, right?
EDIT: Wait did you try this?

Convert a database to the Access 2007 file format

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...-the-access-2007-file-format-HA010048406.aspx


You cannot convert a replicated database to the Office Access 2007 file format. However, you can use Access 2007 to create a replica of a database that is formatted in either the Access 2000 or the Access 2002 - 2003 file format.


More copy and paste:
[paste:font size="5"]Convert an Access 97 database, Convert an Access 95 database, or Convert an Access 2.0 database.

• Click the Microsoft Office Button
  
  , point to Save As, and then, under Save the database in another format, click the file format to which you want to convert.

• If any database objects are open when you use the Save Database As command, Access prompts you to close them prior to creating the copy. Click Yes to make Access close the objects, or click No to cancel the entire process. If needed, Access will also prompt you to save any changes.

• In the Save As dialog box, type a file name in the File name box, and then click Save.

Access creates the copy of the database, and then opens the copy. Access automatically closes the original database.
