access 2000 Compacting error

[Guest]

Hi

I have recently (last few weeks) received an error when some databases try
to auto compact:

"Cannot open database 'C:\Path\db1.mdb'. It may not be a database that your
application recognizes, or the file maybe corrupt."

I have compact & Repaired them and this has had no effect. All were created
in access 2000.

any thoughts on this one would be helpful....

cheers

It may BE corrupt, and it may be a corruption that Compact and Repair cannot
handle.
