unrecognized database format

[cherman]

Good morning.

I'm posting here, even though my issue is not a result of a DB conversion.

I have a 2000 DB file that I set up on a server and also emailed to a user.
My user and myself are both using Access 2003, but when my user tries to
access the DB on the server and locally, she gets this error message:

unrecognized database format 'path'.

To test, I converted my DB from 2000 to 2003, but she still couldn't open
it. I've never had this problem. You would think a user would be able to open
a 2000 or 2003 file when running Access 2003. I have not had this error in
the previous 2 months while working with the file and I believe I set this up
from scratch (not using someone else's DB).

If you have any suggestions as to what I can test, I would appreciate it if
you could pass them along. I'm stumped.

Thanks!
Clint

The database needs to be in 2000 format for the A2000 user to be able to use
it.

If the tables are linked, it might also indicate an inability to link to the
back end (e.g. if the back end file is in A2002/3 format, or is not an mdb.)

The message can also indicate a corruption of the file. Each version of
Access uses a different binary for the compiled code, so it might help if
you decompile the database by entering something like this at the command
prompt while Access is not running. It is all one line, and include the
quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"
