I had the same error after several attempts. It appears that this error occurs when the database is too large for Access to process (hence the reason it occurs late in the game). I found the error message to
be obtuse and the process frustrating…

Subject: [CTPP] SF1 Access Shell Import Error
Hello Everybody,
I’ve been following the steps to import the SF1 data into the Access table shell. Everything was working smoothly until I got to the 8th table to import, and then I got the following message:
‘Cannot open database “ . It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.’
(See screenshot below.)
I tried importing the next table, and got the same result. Has anyone run into this problem? I’m at a loss because, as I said, everything was working fine previously. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
Best wishes,

p.s. I used a program called Greenshot to capture the above image. It’s like a much better “print screen”. It’s free and totally worth checking out:
