I designed an Access database on a computer. Saved to USB flash drive and the
tried to open it on another computer, but the database wont open.
i was getting a message that says: "Unrecognized database format"
Though both computes are having the same version of Access and the same
Windows Xp.

If you're positive that the same version of Access is being used to open the
MDB file (remember, the second machine could have more than one version of
Access installed, and the default association for the MDB extension could be
an earlier version of Access), the most likely possibility is that your
database got corrupted. Try a different copy of the MDB file.
