Hi everyone,
I am new here and found this forum while searching for a solution to my problem. I searched the forum, but didn't have any luck.
I have an odd problem when downloading a .mdb file. I download a mdb file daily from a supplier's website. The file they are sharing is a mdb file (based on what they say, as well as the link target), but when I download it, it switches the file type to an accdb file...
Another issue is it seems to be random. Several weeks ago, I noticed the file type changed from mdb to accdb. I didn't think much about it because I assumed they upgraded. Well, later it went back to a mdb file. Now it seems to be a accdb file. They claim to have never switched to the accdb file type and I have yet to find the link target referencing a accdb file type. Normally I would not be a problem since I can access both file types. However, I have an Excel file linkied to it, so the file type/extension is critical to insure I get the most current data (I cannot set it up to look for an accdb file and then a mdb file is updated...)
The supplier's IT department tells me that they suspect it is a file association problem. Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks!
