Hi Peter,
you must have at least one Pc or virtual machine with an older Access.
The last version which was able to open ACC97 without problems is 2007, 
maybe 2010.
So your steps should be:
- open the DB with Acc2003 and save in this 2003-format as mdb
OR
- open with Acc2007 so you can save to accdb.
This File is than readable from Acc2013 and higher.

Greetings
Dirk
