Hi all.
I need help with Microsoft Access 2013. I can not open the Access document cause of the following message: "Invalid database ". Any ideas what might be causing this? Please advise me how to repair Access.
I have created this document on Windows 8. Now I am using Windows 10

Is that the full error message? I didn't see any hits with just "invalid database" in a search, they were all invalid database object reference, or unrecognized database format or something.

I am not Access savvy, but generally if it is saying the whole database is invalid it sounds like a corrupted file. Do you have a backup?

Then you will have to fall back to software similar to this:
http://www.accessfilerepair.net/
Access is know to corrupt easily as it uses by default a single file containing all database logic you added and the data you put into it. Single point of failure if you will. This makes it also easy to create a backup. But as you don't have a backup, I must assume that your access database isn't of much value to you.
In that case, isn't it an option to start over from scratch? And make backups afterwards?

You can try to upload your file to this service
https://onlinefile.repair/en/access.html
and this will automatically scan the file
