Hello.

 

I upgraded Microsoft Office to Office 2016.

 

Every time i open .mdb file with the help of Microsoft Access get the error message "An error occured while initializing the access database".

Other Office applications are working fine.

 

Can you light me up the possible root cause?

Thanks a lot!

There are dozens of programs that can be installed on your computer to open Microsoft Office documents and other office or rich-text documents ( for example MDB Open File Tool) Also you can try OpenOffice. It is available for all major platforms including Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and Linux. Google Docs, available from Google.

Hello. 

 

You can use this tool to check database file.

Try to import mdb file to excel to check if the file is ok or  it is corrupt. 

 

Have a nice day
