Wrong Database Format

I have a database that when I try to open it says that it
is the wrong format, is there a way to fix this so that I
can open the database?

I have Access 97 I am not sure what version the database I
am trying to open is. I even tried linking to the
database and that did not work or importing the data and
that could not read it either. Is there any way around
this?

Thank you

Yes I have full access to the folder. Under attributes
nothing is listed. I says it is a Microsoft Access
Database. I even had someone with Access 2000 try to
access and they got the same message about the format. I
even tried the repair tools in Access but continued to get
the same message. HMMMMMMM

Thanks

The JetComp tool may be of use.
