Error Message when Opening Database

[Sherwood]

Greetings,

I am using Access 2000 and am attempting to open a database that I have
always been able to successfully open before. However, when I open the
database this time I receive the following error message multiple times:
"Reserved error (-1517); there is no message for this error."

The word, "Error" also appears in numerous fields on the form. However,
when I check the linked table (which resides in another Access database), the
word "Error" does not appear in the various columns. This all started this
morning. Any ideas as to what is going on? By the way, I have run a Compact
and Repair on the backend database, but this has not resolved the issue.

Thanks in advance!

Sherwood,
Hold the Shift key while opening the MDB. If it opens to the Access screen, then you
probably have some code (AutoExec) that's running at Open that's causing the problem. It
could also be code that runs when the default "startup" form opens.

Thanks. I ended up performing a Compact and Repair and that solved the
problem.
