Unrecognized database format

Hi,

I am getting "Unrecognized database format" error on MS Access.

Let me give you the complete backgound information

The access file that I am getting this error with is on a Windows Server
2003 SP1 and has Access 2002 (10.6501.6735) installed on it. For convenience
sake let say this server name is "Alpha".

When I browse to the file location, Example: C:\temp\MyData.mdb and open the
file it opens with no issues. I can copy the file to any location I want and
can open it with no issues.

I can also open the file \\alpha\temp\MyData.mdb (temp is shared with all
the proper permissions) from the same server machine "Alpha'. But when I copy
the file to a different folder say "\\alpha\temp\Copy of MyData.mdb", I get
the Unrecognized database format issue.

We have purchased an application that copies the mdb file from one location
to another and does it through UNC name. After copying the application fails
to open the mdb file.

When we tried to mimic this situation from a workstation, I mean coping the
file to a different location using the UNC name, we can open with no issues.
The issue is only when you try to do it from the server.

Did any one of you come across this scenario? Any help in this regard will
be appreciated. Thank you
