Question:
How come I'm getting a recognized Database Format error when opening an Access table with BDE?
Answer:
The table is probably an Access 2000 table. Another possibility is corrupted table.
The BDE uses DAO which has not been updated by MicroSoft since 1997. Access 2000 does not use
DAO but uses ADO instead. Access 97 and BDE use the same DAO engine. Opening the table
in Access 97 should result in the same error.
