Unrecognized file format?

[vast02]

I created an Access mdb (db1.mdb) file (under Access 2000 format), copied it to another computer (Computer B). THe db1.mdb runs Ok in that computer. Howerver, when I copy the db1.mdb from computer B back to my computer (computer A), use Access to open it. I am not able to open the db1.mdb in computer A. The pop up window says "Unrecognized file format". What is the problem?

Thank for input.

Which version of access is installed on each computer ?
Doesn't have Computer B converted db1.mdb ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

I had the same problem when I used flash memory to take a copy to a different PC. The DB went corrupted. The reason was flash moemory was faulty. I didn't get the DB back.

Hi, PHV:

Both computer A and computer B have same version of Access (Office 2002).
