corrupted Access 97 database

[Deverick Martin]

I'm running an Access 97 database on a Windows 2000
network with 5 users. It became corrupted today and when I
try to repair it, I get this error message:
The database 'C:\....mdb'can't be repaired or isn't a
Microsoft Access database file.
Any suggestions on how to retrieve my database?
