cooper Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 So obviously it either isn't an Access db or one that's newer than 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Cooper Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I haven't used Access for a while, but a mdb should open in 2007, as mdb is the container used in Access 2003 and below (though newer versions can use it for backwards compatibility). Most likely it has been corrupted, take a copy of the file to be safe then try Access's Compact and Repair Database option on it. If that doesn't work you can always try importing it into a new database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3arn3r Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 The mdb file is perfect and i have tested 2003,7,10 office versions but still failed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
