When I run the "Compact & Repair Database" Tool I get the following error
message:

" Could not find field 'Description' "

Unfortunately when I get this error message, the tool doesn't work.
Basically I am trying to get some information on what this error message
means. Specifically, I wonder if during the compact and repair database
process is there field called "Description" that can't be found?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Sounds like some corruption in this database.
From MVP Tony Toews' site here is a quote:

(http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruption/symptoms.htm)

"1017 - "Could not find field "Description" It's possible the problem
is with a table that has a self-join and Memo fields, and has referential
integrity enforced. ACC2000: Table Corruption After Referential
Integrity Checks - 296389 But it's more likely to be a sign of corruption."

You may want to review his corruption information, as well as links
I have accumulated here:

Good luck,
