Argh, Unrecognized database format!
« on: May 11, 2012, 06:43:47 am »
I'm getting this message after purchasing and upgrading to 9.3.  What happened?  Is there anyway I can get my model back?  :(

I got this on a corrupted model. Try opening an empty model and the try to repair via Tools/Data Management/... There are some MS Access repair tools.

Also, just in case you haven't mentioned that you changed computer in the process you will also get this message if attempting to open a JET 4 model when not using JET 4. (See Tools | Options)
