Error Accessing File. Network Connection may be lost.

[Chris M]

I receive

"Error Accessing File. Network Connection may be lost"
whenever I try to invokie an event procedure. I'm not on
a network and have reinstalled Access (again) after the
error.

I also sporadically receive this error when trying to copy
a form (i.e., copy and modify). I can solve it for the
forms by closing access and reopening the app.

I'm on Windows ME, so take pity...

Any help in figuring this out?

You've probably been bitten by this bug:

Office 2000 SP3 fixes the bug, but that won't repair your corrupted
database. You'll have to resort to a backup, or else try importing all
objects to a new database -- some objects probably won't import, and
you'll have to recreate them from scratch. When you do import the
objects, unless you've applied the service pack, it is *crucial* that
you compile and save the project before closing the database.
