Unrecognised Database Format

[Josh01]

Hi,


I have an access 2k database that when opened gives the following error :

Unrecognised Database Format

I have tried to recompile it, compact and Repair it and create a new database to copy all objects across to. All of which to no avail, still keep getting the same message. This is the only version of Access i have on my machine.

Has anyone got any ideas on how to get round/prevent this happening?


Cheers

Josh

You are sure its not Access 2002 or XP???
That will give an error in 2000 DougP, MCP

DougP,

I have double checked in case i was going mad but it is definitly Access 2000.

Make a backup copy of the db and try the decompile command: go to Start button-> Run
Type:
msaccess.exe /decompile "C:\Path\File.mdb"

If it does not correct the problem, your db is either Access XP or lost for good.
