I have a database I created on my home computer and at the
time I used office 97. When I took the database to work
and loaded it on our LAN so everyone could use it I am
having the following problems. First when I try to open it
it using a desktop shortcut it gives me an error
message "Unrecognized Database", so I closed it and then
converted it to Access 2000. Now when I double click
directly on the program file or use a Desktop Icon I still
get the same error message but if I open the Microsoft
Access program first and then surf to my file from within
the Access program and select open it opens without any
error messages. Why does the database only open by first
starting Microsoft Access ?
PS - I now have Access 2000 at home and it opens OK using
a Desktop Icon or double clicking directly on the file.
Thanks
