Access issue

[jgamble]

Hi all. Please help me to solve my poblem with MS Access.
I have .mdf format file which was created a month ago. When I try to open it in MS Access recieve the following error message: This file does not have a program associated with if for performing this action. Any advice how to repair access?
Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this.

This is probably a SQL Server file, which you should be able to connect to as an ODBC data source. You would 'Get External Data...' and connect to the file. There may be ways to convert it using Access, but I've never done that

Thanks for information and advice.

Just to be clear, mdf files are not normally access databases. Probably (in the context of data) a sql server file and best discussed with the sql server administrator who's in charge of that database.
