my database keeps corrupting!

My Access database keeps corrupting!

I am doing some work on my Access front end database. It is a front
end to an Access back end as well as to a SQL backend. I am working in
it quite regularly. Doing lots of coding and making lots of changes.
I will close it for whatever reason, but then when I go to re-open it I
will get this error message:

The code or macros in this file do not match the digital signature.
This mismatch was most likely caused by one of the following:
The file was modified by a virus.
The file was modified by an earlier version of MIcrosoft Access.
Check the file for viruses with an updated virus scanner, and notify
the publisher of this file. The current security settings prevent
Access from opening this file.

I know that this is an erroneous message - I have checked my virus
software and I am up to date and there is nothing wrong with the file
that I WAS JUST IN. What is going on? I have tried making sure that I
re-associate the digital signature. This is happening ALL THE TIME.
More often then I can back up my work and it's costing me a lot of
time. Does anyone know what's going on or what is causing this?

Thanks!

Check out the hints at Tony Toews' corruption FAQ:

The nature of the messages suggests that you may have some DLL
incompatibilites in the Access installation. Do you have (or have you
had) two versions of Access installed? Are your service packs up to
date? Have you tried COMPLETELY uninstalling and reinstalling Office
(it may come to that)?
