Form/Subform Will Not Open

[Steve]

Access 2003 desktop application .......

When I try to open a form/subform I get the message:
"Could not use <name of backend file>; file already in use."
What could be causing this message to appear?

If I click OK, the form opens with just a blank space for the subform. If I
remove the control source from the subform control, the main form opens
correctly. I can open the subform by itself with no problem.

I have rebuilt the form/subform and get the same message.

Thanks for any ideas!

You need to redesign your tables. I can help for an unreasonable fee.
