Table Corruption & Deletion with Database Restore

[gabe]

Getting message on couple tables within a MS Access
database
"unrecognized database format" and can not delete/rename
theese seeminly corrupt couple tables which are created
via macros. Is there anyway to delete/rename these
corrupt tables without restoring
MS Access database (which in our case is large and
contains many tables that are linked)....

Unrecognized database format sometimes appears if you attempt to open a
higher version mdb in a lower version.

If that isn't the case, I'd suggest the following:

Backup your database.

Try compacting your database using Jetcomp, available at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=273956

If that fails, try creating a new database and importing objects from the
old.
