Database Corruption

[Lawrence]

I created a database in Microsoft Access 2002 and it
appears some users may have corrupted it. I am getting
the following error when trying to open it: The database
is in an unexpected state; Microsoft access can't open
it. This database has been converted from a prior version
of access by using the DAO Compact database method instead
of the convert database command on the tools menu
(atatbase utilities submenu). This has left the database
in a partially converted state. If you have the database
in its original format ( I do but cant do anything with
it) use the convert database command on the tools menu to
convert it. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED - DO
NOT WANT TO RE-CREATE****

When I have had a data base which could not be repaired I have had some
success with the following method. Create a new blank database and import
all objects inot it. This will not always work, but it is worth a try.
