Can not open file - Please HELP

[Lucia]

I was working on a single Access database, and sudenly when tried to open, it
gave me the following message:

Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on <name>. (Error 3112)

I am the one who created the database. I have full control.
I am not even able to open the database so I can repair from the Database
Utilities menu.
Any ideas or am I in big trouble?

Thanks
Lucia

You may be in trouble if you don't have a good backup. :-{(

See http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm for an overview of
database corruption. Your best bet may be to create a new, empty database and
use File... Get External Data... Import to import whatever can be salvaged
from this one; but read Tony's corruption FAQ for other possibilities.
