Yes, looks like Access 2013 dropped the support of the older database versions (the SDB is created as Access 2.0 format).

Since the "Display Manholes as Cones" setting is a preference in the Create Profile command, it will only read that setting when it creates the profile, so there is no way to change it in the profile after the fact.

But it seems like if I display a profile that way, it is on forever in that profile. To turn it off, I have to create a new profile window.

Also, on the Access file - Access 2013 64 bit does not seem like it wants to open the SDB file.

I tried with and without changing the extension.

Chuck,

All versions of access should be able to open the file. You don't want to upgrade the file though, just leave it in it's current version format.

The Manhole "Display as Cone" is found in the create profile command under the Include section. You'll see the toggle towards the bottom of the dialog.
