Hi
I installed Windows XP on my second partition and as a result it has
corrupted various Access 2, 97 and 2000 databases. It also trashed Outlook
and some Word docs!
I tried re-installing Office 97 but that did not fix it nor did trying the
Repair nor the downloadable Jetcomp.exe. I still have error 3343
"unrecognised database format". What is also strange is that although some
of the faulty files have a last modified date of the Win XP installation,
some others have dates from months ago but are still corrupted. The original
partition was Win 98.
I am wondering if the databases have been modified to Access 2003, and hence
are not recognised by earlier versions?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Ian Logan
