Database Error 3050

Posted on June 25, 2018

Hi, I’m totally new to Microsoft Office and trying to find some advice.  How do I deal with the MS Access 2016 database error message, Cannot open Access database. Error 3050. It shows up for one database file but not others. Why does the program give me this pop up every time? Thanks very much in advance for all your help
