After compact and repair there is a damaged.mdb

[Robin9876]

After a compact and repair finished (no messages displayed) there was
a db1_Damaged.mdb file in the folder. How can I found what the problem
was with this database?

You could send it to a repair service to figure this out. Hopefully you made a copy of the database first.

If not, make a copy of the db1_Damaged.mdb and try to C&R that one.

uh, Jet randomly locks up and craps out
if you care enough to build a database-- use a database with a
future-- like SQL Server for example

Jet is too buggy to use in the real world, sorry, but you got suckered
into a crap database platform!
