ACCDB Files wont open in MS Access 2024
I have a group of ACCDB files that originally were MDB files and over the years have been upgraded to more current versions. These files do not open now with the current desktop version of MS Acces...

Hi,
1. Do you know with which version(s) of Access the files have been upgraded or previously could be opened successfully?
2. If the files are all on the same network drive, you can try to copy them to a local drive (or at least a different one) and test if they can be opened from there.
3. Which version of Windows do you use?
Especially if it is Win10, it could be the bad old Leasing bug and you could try to use the workaround to disable Leasing as described in this MS support article.
