You get an "Access violation" error when the process trying to open a file does not have sufficient permissions for it. So start by looking at the file you are opening, the folder that contains it, and see exactly where it is, and what users have access rights. It's possible that Access 2016 uses a service which runs under a different user that the 2013 version didn't and so the file is not available.
If the file is under a User account ("My Documents" for example) then it may only be available to your specific user. Or it may be in your application folder, which is always a stupid idea! :laugh:
Try moving the DB to a new folder which has specifically been given all user all access and see if that improves things. This may help:
Where should I store my data?[
