Unrecognized database format

[vbjohn]

Here is my problem. On an End Users Computer they try to open a MSAccess Database and it gives them an ERROR saying...

"Unrecognized database format."

So I also tried opening up the same database and I got in. Can someone help me on this?

We are both using Access 2000.

Fixed It!

I fixed it....

When She double-clicked on the Access 2000 database or a shortcut that points to an Access 2000 database or database object, Access 97 starts instead of Access 2000.

So I...
Create a shortcut that includes the path to the version of Access and the database that you want to open. For example, the target of the shortcut could be:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\My Documents\Db1.mdb"

I got that same problem when my office was switching over. I would just open A2K and then open the .mdb from there.
