Several people have had this problem, tracked to an issue with Internet Explorer. Try a different browser.

I have that problem but fixed by adding this site to Compatibility View settings under Tools on the menu for IE.

Hello,
It was for any download in any thread.
I'll try the "Compatibility View settings"
Thanks

PS
The search tool didn't find any similar threads to with the terms "php accdb extension" in the thread titles but I found this one trolling the forum access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=275878 which explains all

Pike,

I helped a poster with this problem about a week ago. As P Baldy said, it is related to IE.
When he tried the download with Chrome, it worked as expected.

The only problem is the extension is incorrect on the downloaded file.

Simply edit the extension to what it should be.
