    I am using MS Access 2010 and one of my databases on our shared network does not open for any user. Shows "Unrecognized Database Format." error message.

    I can't even get it to the point of opening. Is there a solution for this?

    Is there any commercial tool to recover data from a corrupted database?

    First things first, don't attempt to repair the original database, copy the database file and work on the copy!

    Quick questions

    a. where is the database stored? Chances are that the storage is failing.

    b. do you have a backup?

    c. What have you tried so far?
