I have an Access 2007 file that I was working on at my office. I left for the day and the database was still open. When I came back the next day the system had shut off so I rebooted (no issues). I tried to open the database and am getting the error message: "Unrecognized database format 'C:\....\filename.mdb"

I cannot get into the file, I cannot Compact/Repair it either. Anyone have any suggestion on how to get the data "out" I have tried using Access External Data, Creating an new DB and importing the broken file but I cannot get past the error message.

I can open previous versions of the same database.

I really need to get the data. I can attached the file if someone can figure out what to do with it??

Firstly, check the size of the file to see if it's the expected size, then try this...

I have the same problem, but the software you say is very bad, it can only recover tables. Can you recommend me other software like this, but more powerful?

You can try the one from Stellar.

They are a spammy company I don't personally care for, but the software claims to be able to do more than just the tables.

Maybe, in my case the task of the software was very poor.
Stellar software works better, I could recover many fields, however I need recover high precision numbers still. Is there a tool specific for recover high precision numbers in Access? or this is not possible.

upload file here in compress format

Ummm.... I don't think posting that sort of data to a publicly accessible forum is a very good idea.
