Re: “Support expected interface” in Cato’s.

Cato, thanks for your tireless support for this program. And my thanks to everyone else who helps with it too.
My first thoughts would be:
1. Do you have MS Access installed? The MDB file is an MS Access file.
2. Do you have a different program besides MS Access associated with *.MDB files? If so these should point to MS Access.
3. If you have MS Access is it a different version than the one used by OOTP History as it's default DB? I think the MDB file is a MS Office 2000 version of Access, though I am not positive that would cause an error if the version of Access was different.

Note that OOTP History does not require you to have MS Access on your PC, but if you want to view and edit the MDB files you will need Access. Hope some of this was helpful.
