Due to a recent disaster at work, I'm re-building a PC that suffered a catastrophic hard drive failure. The problem I have is that I need to rebuild the MS Access database that was running on it. The database had been backed up to five floppy disks by someone else and I don't know what software they've used. All I can tell you is that the files created have the extension .001 - Any one out there know these are or what software might have been used to generate them??? (I've tried both 95 / NT backup programs to no effect)
Thnx

.001's can also be compressed files.

Yes they can, for example if you use winace to split files, they will be caled <i>file</i>.001, <i>file</i>.002 etc


Next time you wave - use all your fingers

WinRAR also uses .001, .002, etc.

Also, I think when ScanDisk finds problem files (like cross-linked), and you select "Save", it saves them with those extensions. I could be remembering wrong.
