Post to a newsgroup relevent to your o/s, as this is the Access db ng
PS If other floppys are OK then likely your disk is damaged

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.

You will want to tell them if it is just one floppy disk (they tend to
be not all that reliable, especially after a few years of sitting around) or
all your floppies.
