Hello all -
I'm seeing this error on a back-end database (.accdb) that has been working fine for months. The database file resides on a server share that is access by multiple front-end users. Suddenly, the links from the front-end to the back-end broke for all users connected and I am unable to connect them with linked table manager. I keep getting the "unrecognized database format" error.
I've tried the following:
1. Compact and repair on a copy of the corrupt database -- this does not work in 2013 as I cannot even open the database. I tried it in 2010 as well but it resulted in the "unrecognized database format" error.
2. Create new Access database and get external data using the import and link to the corrupt access database -- this fails with same error.
Thank you for any help!
