    Access 2000 database "unrecognised database format" error on first access by vb6 app.


    I have an access 2000 database that is giving error "unrecognised database format" the first time I access it using my VB6 app on Server 2012. It is only happening on this computer. Access is not on this computer so I cannot open it to see if its accessible before my app tries to open it. Has anyone run into this problem before?? any suggestions would be helpful!

    you can try installing the MS access runtime components to see if you can open the database and/or see if it makes the application run the way you intend. just google 'install ms access runtime components'.
