[AccessD] Error # 3343 Unrecognized database format

Doug:

I've seen this before.  One of my clients has A97 FE and BE and occasionally
gets the "Unrecognized db ... error".  Their MIS guy has found that almost
every time it happened they had a bad switch, bad NIC, or bad wiring which
was causing the user's FE to break the connection improperly, leaving the BE
in a questionable state.  Of course, the same thing can occur if users
reboot their computers or reset them without logging out of Access first.

HTH!

Folks,

I have a client who has started getting an Error #3343 on their back end
DB.  The DB is Access 97. From what I can find on this error it usually
has to do with database writes being interupted or hard shutdowns.  They
claim that there have been no changes to thier network and that all
etc.
etc.
