We are getting the following error whilst loading an ACCESS database:

'Unrecognised Database format'

Tried compact and repair ,but no good.

Any Ideas?

Hi,

Could be an access 2000 database you're trying to open using access 97?

Or it could simply be corrupted...

Cheers,Tim.

You can still try to create a new blank database and import all the tables, query's, forms, reports, macros from the old one, it usualy works.

If you used this database before and it was working fine, and none of the above (previous answers) cases are involved or working for you, hopefully you have a backup somewhere that you can use.
