Unrecoginized Database

T

TC

I am new Access User, because Excel will not open the this Big File (it does
open 65000 lines perfectly) It is an 800,000 KB DAT file. When I Start Access
and then try to Open the DAT file I get the message "Unrecognized Database
Format (followed by the file address). I tried the File Extension fix where I
added the DAT extension to the Registry, but no change. Please help direct
me. Do I need to "create" a data base in Access before I open this File?,
because I reall don't know the design of the file other than Excel opens part
of it OK> Thanks
