Corrupt Database?

[denilynn]

I can't open one of my forms and am wondering if this
could mean that my database is corrupt. Also, is database
corruption database-specific, or does it pertain to all of
the Access software? Are we safe to load Access onto our
new server? Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you run a compact and repair? Try that on a copy of the db.

Why would you install Access on the server? Is someone planning to use the
server as a workstation? You should generally only have BE files on the
server, which do not need access installed to work in a typical split
database scenario.

Corruption occurs in an mdb file, and therefore does not mess up other mdb
files.
