MDB - Unrecognized Format

[JamesJ]

I found some old mdb's on a cd probably created with Access 2003.
When trying toi open it Access 2007 says It's 'Unrecognized Database
Format'. Any way to open this 2003 db using 2007??

Thanks,
James

Found on CD, did you move it to a read/write/exicute location on your hard
drive? For access to open it the file needs to be converted, not permently,
but 2007 must change the file when it is opened.
