Reserved Error (-1517)

I have been getting a "Reserved Error (-1517)" with no message associated
with it every couple of days on my access network system. It seems to be
only happening on one station.

Where can I find out about this error?

Thanks

Tom

I have been getting a "Reserved Error (-1517)" with no message associated
with it every couple of days on my access network system. It seems to be
only happening on one station.

I've noticed this problem several times when I've added a foreign key
to a table in the backend which was inserted into the middle of a
table. Everything would work fine for days or weeks until the backend
was compacted. Then the FE would puke with the -1517 error you
mentioned whenever that particular table was accessed. But deleting
the link and recreating the link made it work again.
