OUr Access 2000-based database was working fine yesterday, this morning PC's which had it open were fine, but no new PC's could open it. I closed the file and tried to run compact & repair, but error Unrecognized Database Format before it tried to do anything. Downloaded Jetcomp.exe from Microsoft, but it has the same problem and doesn't even generate an error table. Any ideas what else to try to access the data? (I have also tried importing to a new database, but nothing seems to even attempt to get past whatever the initial problem is opening the file).

TIA,
Ben
