Error 3041

[red2002yzfr1]

The error is Cannot open a database created with a previous version of your application. (Error 3041). I clicked on help and the content tells me "you have accessed a Db that is in an outdated format. Compact the Db & try the operation again." I can not compact it on the computer, will not perforn that function with the result being the same error. I do not have this problem on any other computer in our department.

What version are you coming from and what version are you going to? That's sort of the most important part here.

 

[red2002yzfr1]

The Db was created and it being accessed by the same version accross the department. The program is rolled out via our network. Out of 15 computers, there is only one having this issue. So there is no previous version accessing it.

In the one exhibiting issues, can you go to that machine, make a new DB, and then import the tables and queries and such from the copy giving you issues into the new DB?

 

[red2002yzfr1]

I will try and post results.

I tried to create a Db from her computer and still get that error message. I then re-installed MSOffice and still having the problem and getting the error message.

i had a similar problem in A97 - i think its a corrupt database

i was able to solve it with a2003.
open with A2003 - covert to 2003 format
then convert back to A97 format

or

create a new database
open corrupt database
export all the objects one at a time

which is ok if there's not too many objects

You can't open or create a Db, new or existing


Problem solved: COMPLETELY unistall and re-install Access, did not work using the repair, re-install, etc. from add or remove programs. It now works fine.
