It should be possible to just import the database as is into Access 2003 and convert it. Access has a lot fewer compatibility problems than the rest of Office. There are instructions in Access Help on file conversion.

In what sense won't the database work if converted? It may need to be compiled in Access 95 via the Debug menu (in fact, Help recommends this to minimise errors), but the underlying principles of, e.g., table relationships are the same whatever database you're using.

Let us know how you get on.
