Through Excel I used "Get external data", when prompted I selected "New
database" & browsed to my .mdb file in Access 97 that I want to use. Actually
I used the create button. After that when I tried to open my .mdb file using
access I got the message " Unrecognized format". Did I lost my Access file
for good?

Thank you for your help.
 
Very possibly. I've seen people destroy an access database by trying to open
it with Word then saving it as a Word document.

When I first started database work I was told to have two things: (1) A
good, workable backup and recovery plan or (2) a good resume as you are going
to need a new job.

When did you last make a backup?
