invalid statement when working in access

[Guest]

I can open a database in access, but when I try to add to it or make changes,
I get an error "invalid argument" What does this mean and how can I fix it?

There is a problem with the database itself, with its references, or with
the Office installation.

What changes trigger the error? If it's changes to code, open any code
window and choose References on the Tools menu. If any are marked "MISSING",
see:

If it happens when you try to run a wizard (such as a report wizard, or a
combo box wizard), it is an installation problem. Go to:

and search for:
invalid argument
setting Search Type to:
Error Message

If that doesn't work, it is possible that the database itself has a
corruption. Post back for more info.

I figured out that the database was corrupted. Have no idea how it happened,
but luckily I had a backup from 3 days ago. I didn't lose that much
information, but I've decided to back it up everyday in case it happens
again. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
