This problem keeps giving me grief. If I use Windows Explorer to go into a directory and open a database, it opens okay, and works okay. However when I close the database I get an error, which on selecting help, produces:
Cannot open database <name>. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt. (Error 3049)
Possible causes:
You tried to open a non-Microsoft Jet database, such as a Btrieve, dBASE, or Paradox database or table. Instead, link the database or table to an existing Microsoft® Jet database.
You tried to import or link a Paradox database or table, and the associated .px file could not be found. Make sure the .px file is the same directory as the Paradox database or table, and then try the operation again.
If the specified database is a Microsoft Jet database, it is corrupted. You should attempt to repair the database. If the database cannot be repaired, restore the database from a backup copy, or create a new database.
However if I put a windows shortcut to it on the desktop, the database opens and closes with no error. Does anyone know why this is happening. I have had on occasion had Access showing an error which has resulted in Access deleting the database putting it into another database. I think that was during an MDE creation. However my first part is worrying me more. Thanks
