When I open d-base it states that it needs to be repaired
but when I click yes it looks like it starts and then just
sits there and does nothing else. In the task manager it
still shows running. Does anyone have any suggestions on
how to get it repaired?

Make a copy of the MDB.

Let the Compact & Repair run for at least 3 or 5 minutes.

Otherwise try importing into a new MDB.

For more information on corruption including possible causes,
determining the offending PC, retrieving your data, links, official MS
KB articles and a list of vendors who state they can fix corruption
see the Microsoft Access Corruption FAQ at

Importing to new d-base not allowed it comes up and wants
to repair just like when you open the corrupted one.

Then try some of the other steps mentioned in the URL or send it off
