No, It just gives me a error message that says
Cannot open a database created with a previous version of your application. (Error 3041)
If I click on help I get this message
-----------------
Cannot open a database created with a previous version of your application. (Error 3041)
You tried to access a database that is in an outdated format. Compact the database and then try the operation again.

I can however open up the database from another 2003 office installations on another computer.

Ok I followed the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 310804 and it did not work.

Basically access will not open any MDB file regardless of its version of access. It will not even create a database without givin the above error. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I am having this exact problem when trying to run an application with DAO36. Even after following all these recommendations (including re-registering DAO360.dll and msrd3x40.dll, deleting and re-creating the Jet 3.x registry key) - still no joy.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
Nigel.
