[AccessD] Unrecognized Database Format

Hi Reuben

If you in the hex editor after browsing down a few pages still don't
see anything that looks like the pages from a new file, you can't do
anything. Somehow (network or file server error) the file has been
overwritten with an executable file of some sort.
