Corruption detected

[aMack]

The following message is displayed when opening access from a couple of PC's:
Other machines work fine with the same database.

Microsoft Access has detected corruption in this file. To try to repair the
corruption, first make a back up copy of the file. Then, on the tools menu,
point to database utilities and click compact and repair database. If you
are currently trying to repair this corruption then you will need to recreate
this file or restore it from a previous backup.

Any ideas about the cause of this?

Thanks
