The default format I am using is Access 2007. I saved it as an accdb. The customer has Access 2007 SP2. When I try unrecognized database format access mdb to open it on the customer's machine (and one of my machines that has Access 2007) I get "Unrecognized database format". I have tried removing all of the references I could to Office 2010 libraries to no avail. I created a blank db using the same settings and it opens fine. I was supposed to deliver this today, but I guess that's out. Any ideas? Here's an in depth update. To find out where the problem lies, I created a db

on the target machine and moved it to my machine. I imported everything from the problem db to the blank one. And then moved that file back to the target machine and it failed to open. So I created another blank db on the target machine and moved it to my machine. I imported only the tables and moved the file back to the target. It opened fine. So I moved it back to my machine and imported the queries (tables still in db). I moved it back to the target machine and it opened OK. So I moved it back to my machine and imported the forms. I moved it back to the target machine and it failed to open. I then took it back to my machine, removed the forms, and moved it back to the target. It still failed to open. After much work I have determined that I can include everything (tables, queries, modules, and reports) but the forms and the db will open OK on the target machine. Is the problem with VBA?

One of my databases on our shared network will not open for any user. It says "Unrecognized Database Format." I've had this problem before but was still able to open the database, compact and repair, or import all http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13884080/corrupted-access-accdb-file-unrecognized-database-format of the database objects into a new database.

Creating your account only takes a few minutes. Join Now We recently upgraded to a windows 2008 R2 x64 server from a 2003 server where everything was fine before.  All the files are on an external HDD.  So in the new server, I removed all the old ownership and permissions.  Made new owners, inherited permissions, full access, etc.  But for some reason only the domain administrator can open access databases.  The other users get ‘Unrecognized Database Format’ database is corrupt or in an inconsistent state.   Obviously the error is not 100 % factual as the domain admin can open them.  I figure the error is permission related but I have made sure they are all correct.  Is there anything I  am missing ?  Has anyone experienced this ?  This is on MS Office 2007.  Thanks, C.S.

If that works you need to review your permissions. 0 Jalapeno OP Henry Maxwell Jan 21, 2015 at 11:05 UTC This error message appears when you attempt to open a database in an earlier version of Access but the attempted database was created using newer version of Access.
