I’d like to add something to Kevin…
Microsoft started using the accdb files in access 2007 (and later in 2010) and older versions does not support it.
The old versions used MDB files – Access 2003 uses MDB files.
If your file is an MDB file you just have to right click it and choose open with access 2003
if the file is accdb you should open it with access 2007 and use the save as option and choose access 2000-2003.
There is some info here:

Please note that going back is not always possible since there are new features in the new features that can not be translated to the old version… Just simple databases will be converted with no problem.
Good luck
