Problem With Possible Database Corruption????

[Andibevan]

Hi,

I am having problems with some forms on my database that seem to be
corrupted.

When I try to open the forms the outer border of the form can be seen
but then access crashes with the error

'The instruction at "0x3003f995" referenced memory at "0x78430138". The
memory could not be "read".

If I open up the vba ide I the project explorer is kind of greyed out
and you can't select any of the modules.

I could do with some idea of how to sort this out as I am stumped.

TIA

Andi

That error *suggests* (but does not prove) that you may have hardware
problems. Although Access can give bogus messages,it's quite possible
that the memory chip containing that memory address is indeed damaged!

Try using the database on another computer, if you have one available.

In any case - MAKE A BACKUP, now!; don't overwrite any older backups,
you might need them. Then try the suggestions at
