Errors when running db

[DL]

Win2k Sp4 , Access2k updated

My Db has run fine for many years, however I've suddenly started getting
errors in some of the tables:
'unrecognised database format'
Also the Relationships View generates this error, then opens, but displays
no tables/relationships.

Repair runs but doesnt help, I'm tending towards hd corruption / failure
rather than an Access specific prob.

Any thoughts ?

While you could have a corrupt harddrive, I suspect it is the Access file.
Have a look at Tony Toews corruption page for a number of answers:

Thanks, further probs have started appearing, using other apps so I'm
tending more towards hd / hd sata controler problems.

Opened db, its fine now!

MDB is crap and it is only for newbies.

it is too unpredictable and unstable for use in the real world for
anything, anywhere.

use Access Data Projects and you can keep your data safe, secure and
you dont have to run around taking copies of shit and updating
frontends.
