    Question RESOLVED ** Unrecognizable database format

    We have an existing MS Access 2000 database which we are gradually rewriting in Visual Basic/ADO to connect to the database. Therefore at the moment we have a dual system situation, both pointing to the same backend.

    About once or twice a week we get the following message:

    "Unrecognizable database format "......mdb". Please Specifiy the correct datafile."

    This message appears when trying to open in normal access and also from VB. To fix, we get everybody off and let access repair the database.

    Does anybody know of what causes this problem or has anybody ever seen this before? Any help would be much appreciated.
