Hello All,
I just wanted to let everyone know about this issue we encountered as
developers last week.
We had used the ftp functionality available from the command line in Windows
XP Pro to download source code and associated MS Access databases. We could
not use the database and kept receiving the error "Invalid database
format...".
We thought it may have been the version of Office so we upgraded to Office
2003. It didn't work. We found other information online regarding repair,
etc. Running MS Access repair didn't work.
Finally, we obtained FileZilla from the Mozilla website, downloaded the
files again and the databases worked fine.
The ftp download from Windows corrupted the files.
If anyone else experiences such behavior, try using another ftp application
first rather than last.
Best Regards,
TC
