Access 97 is 32 bit
Access 2.0 was the last 16 bit version.

Both are 32-bit.

The only Access versions that were 16bit were:
1
1.1
2.

Access 95 was 2 bit, I believe.

You are wrong here Lyle,
Access 95 was the first 32-bit version.
Maybe that's why it was the *worst* version ever ?
Although I own a copy of Access 95, I never used it because I read a lot of horror-stories ...
(That time I was still 'fighting' with Access 2.0. which was a good and stable release with SP 2)

two-bit (tbt)
adj.

1. Informal. Costing or worth 25 cents: a two-bit cigar.
2. Slang. Worth very little; petty or insignificant: a two-bit thief.

Thanks for clarifying this! I did misread your message ...

Oh. The reason I asked was that a web hosting company I was
considering for ASP/Access hosting stated that they didn't recommend
Access 97 databases, but only Access 2000 or later. The reason, they
said, was that Access 97 mdb's may produce the error: "Cannot open
database '(unknown)'. It may not be a database that your application
recognizes, or the file may be corrupt."

Now this is exactly the error that I have been having for months on
one of the freebie hosting sites. I was at my wits' end, until I saw
this advice. Then I upated the mdb to Access 2000 (Jet 4.0?) and since
then the problem has disappeared on the freebie site.

So, having used Access 97 for years without a problem in standalone
apps, accessing mdb's from VB6, I wonder why there is this apparent
problem when in an ASP/IIS environment and why the Access 2000 version
should fix it? Weird. I thought maybe it's because the Access 97
version is 16-bit. Maybe it's that that it doesn't like. Must be
something else, though.

Hi
This is what Streamline.net say:
"You should use only Access 2000 or higher databases. If you use
Access 97 you may receive the following error:-
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot open database
'(unknown)'. It may not be a database that your application
recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.
This is due to an issue in MDAC 2.5 and greater and is only resolved
by using a newer version of Access."

Yes, that is exactly the same wording as on the Asp-Host site.
Certainly, since upgrading the mdb to 2000 this problem seems to have
disappeared. I wonder what the 'issue' is. Access 97 versioned mdb's
work fine through VB6.
