Unrecognised Database Format

[Ben]

I have a .mdb file which was written in Access 97.

I've tried opening it in Access 97 / 2000 / 2002 / 2003 and everytime it
comes up with Unrecognised Database Format.

I've tried to convert it using the Conversion Tool in the programme itself
and the one you can download from the Microsoft website but still nothing.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get into this?

Thanks,
Ben.

Tony Toews has an excellent web page on database corruption.

I have a white paper in a Word document named Fix Corrupt Access Database
towards the bottom this page:

If you wish, zip it up and send it to me at (e-mail address removed) and I'll
take a look at it tonight if I'm not too busy.
