(... you didn't read the page I linked, did you?...)

Well, at first I assumed the database was integer and properly stored. So, now we know it is not. You have to do some tests:
- how did you create the .mdb file? If you first had a .txt file (or another type) and simply renamed its extension, it doesn't work. If this is the case you will never succeed to open it like an .mdb;
- maybe the . mdb is made with a later version of your MSAccess copy, say, you are trying to open a MSAccess2k db in a MSAccess97 machine. In this case, go back to the machine in which the .mdb file has been created, open it and choose Update db to the previous version, under the Tools/DB Utilities/DB convert menu;
- maybe the db is corrupted. It happens sometimes. Try to open MSAccess without no loaded db, and execute the Compact and Repair Database utility, under the Tools/Database utilities menu;

If none of the above cases is your one, I'm afraid you must spend a bit more of your precious time to provide us a deeper description of the environment you are working in. Alternately, you can always Google the error message (enclose the entire message into double quotes).

However, if you don't bare yet to read the link I posted, stop writing in capitals at least.
Hope it helps (but frankly, not that much).
