Users on a database I've developed regularly get the error
message "3343: unrecognized database format" followed by
the path to the file. This only happens when there are
two or more sharing the database and can happen on loading
it or while they are working in the form.
As Kevin suggest splitting the MDB is the first thing to be done if
the MDB isn't split.
You want to split the MDB into a front end containing the queries,
forms, reports, macros and modules with just the tables and
relationships. The FE is copied to each network users computer. The
FE MDB is linked to the tables in the back end MDB which resides on a
server. You make updates to the FE MDB and distribute them to the
users, likely as an MDE.
See the "Splitting your app into a front end and back end Tips" page
at my website for more info. See the Auto FE Updater downloads page
at my website to make this relatively painless.. It also supports
Terminal Server/Citrix quite nicely.
Otherwise see the Corruptions FAQ at my website.
