Unrecognized database format.

Hi,

I've recovered data from damaged partition and then it was saved. But after
I open the file, it can't open and show the popup menu "Unrecognized database
format". The size of file is 3,460 kb.

How can I do for recovery that file.
Any of suggestion.

Thanks,
c.sumeth

Is the data in a table(s).

Try creating a new DB and then use the import data facility from the old
into the new.
(File - Get External Data)

It's worth a try before you start on any more complex.

Just had a thought.
You do have the version of access loaded that the old DB was created in ??
If you do you could try the convert DB faciltiy
(Tools - DB utilites - convert)

If someone tried to open the old DB in an older version of access then tries
to open it in the current version you will get this warnng Unrecognized
database .....
