Sorry, but there just isn't enough information. It could be anything from a version incompatibility (are you opening it from an older version of access than it was created with?) to flat out file corruption (you are somewhat screwed in this case).

Access 2013 will open files in the Access 2000 format or the 2000-2003 format, both have the MDB extension. In Access 2007, you should be able to uses Tools/Database Utilities/Convert to convert your Access 2007 ACCDB file to one of the older formats.

It will be easiest if you just leave the file in one of those older MDB formats and you'll be able to go back and forth without converting each time. It's not likely that you'll need anything that isn't available in the MDB formats to complete your project.
