Don't post this under Quick Answers - if you got the code from an article, then there is a "Add a Comment or Question" button at the bottom of that article, which causes an email to be sent to the author. They are then alerted that you wish to speak to them.
Posting this here relies on them "dropping by" and realising it is for them.

"i modifed the question"

Then it's almost certainly that your DB was created in an earlier version of the ACE or JET DB engine - some versions cannot be opened by later engines.
Check the DB, and (after backing it up) convert it to the latest version using Access or similar.
