When you try to convert a Microsoft Access 2.0 database to Microsoft
Access 2000, the conversion process stops, and you may receive the
following error message:
Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library.
The same message appears if you try to save a module with the same name as an existing module, project, or object library.

A Microsoft Access object, such as a module, is violating the naming
conventions for objects, modules, or procedures in Visual Basic for
Applications. For example, you have a module with the same name as a
type library, such as "DAO," "Access," or "VBA."

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods.
Converting from Earlier Versions of Access
Open the database in Microsoft Access version 2.0 and rename the
object.
This resolution assumes that you have Microsoft Access version 2.0
installed on your computer. If you replaced version 2.0 with
version 2000 by installing version 2000 to the same folder on
your computer, then you must reinstall version 2.0. You may want
to reinstall into a different folder so that you have both versions
available for resolving the conversion problem.
Naming Current Modules
Choose a name that is different from existing modules, projects, or object libraries.
