I have a database in MS Access 2007. I saved it in Access 2002-2003 database format, i.e., .mdb format. It was working fine. But today when I try to open it, it shows an error. The error is
Unrecognized database format 'F:\Project\bin\Debug\database.mdb'.
How can I open this file? I have no backup.
If you are using Windows Vista and up, you may have a system backup.
Right click the file and select Restore Previous Versions.
If this does not work, try Access Database Corruption Repair Guide
You could try creating a new empty MDB file and importing the objects from the old one. It might work at least for some of the objects.
