Can't open an Access 97 database

[jill]

When I tried to open my Access 97 database under Win98, I
got an 'illegal operation' message. If I click
the 'detail' button to see the error message, it
said 'MSACCESS caused an invalid page fault in module
MSJET35.DLL at 0167:7a847f34.', and then kicked me out.
It also created a 'Microsoft Access Record-Locking
information' file with zero KB.

I downloaded 'JET35SP3.EXE', but it didn't help to either
get into this database or repair it.

Does anyone have this experience before? Thanks.

You could try the JetComp utility.

determining the offending PC, retrieving your data, links, official MS
