    Unrecognized database format <filename>. (Error 3343)

    This is what the Microsoft website says :

    Applies to: Access 2013 | Office 2013 Possible causes:

    • The specified file name is not a Microsoft Access database engine database.
    • The specified file name is a device name, for example, a printer or a console.
    • The database file has invalid header information or an unknown sort order.
    • A commit is pending from another user but the lock file cannot be found.
    • During a commit, you are attempting to write a Long value larger than the 2K maximum page size.
    • The database is damaged. Compact the database and then try opening it again.


    ... The database was working fine moved it to another location via dropbox and now this. Cannot open it at all. Can anyone advise?

    The file is too large so I have posted it to dropbox
