I use "Move this File" option to transfer my database to my Pen-Drive, and
now gives me the following error "Unrecognize Database Format". The software
dont even let me open the file for any kind of repair. Dont let me use ant
database utilities (from the menu) and/or import data, the same error pops-up.

Ive installed
1. Removed Hidden Data
2. MS Database Jet Database compact utility (same error)
3. Acc2Conv
4. and some critical updates
Dont know what to do, Ive read a lot of articles, nothing seems to help me so
far.
Another thing, there's something wierd on all these. Ive Access 03, and when
I open any other database it says "Access 200 format)
 
What "Move this File" option? Do you mean that you used Windows Explorer to
move the file to you pen drive? If so, it appears the file has become
corrupted. The move -shouldn't- have done that, but who knows. At this point
the thing to do is to try to get you back into your file. However, since you
can't even open it, this may be impossible. Try creating a new file and then
import the objects from the bad file. If that doesn't work, then you're
probably going to have to restore from a backup copy of your file or use a
commercial data recovery company.
