Access 2000 mdb file will not open.

[Gary Brennan]

Hi All,

I have been working on a database in Access 2000 and all
of a sudden I am getting an error appearing saying that
MSACCESS.EXE has generated errors and will shutdown, the
standard error message that appears when an Office
Application goes belly up. Now I cannot open this file
where as other Access file sare ok. Does anyone know how I
could repair the mdb file I am working on.

Help would be appreciaited.

Thanks,
Gar

1) The easiest and best way to repair it is to use your backup.

2) Try creating a new file and import items from the old file.

3) You will find some good information of repairing currupted files here.
