This can be a sign of corruption in the original A97 MDB.. MAKE A
BACKUP COPY FIRST. Then ensure your A97 MDB is clean first. One
way would be to compact it to a new file. That will generally locate
any corruptions or clean up minor corruptions.

"Could not find field "Description" It's possible the problem is with
a table that has a self-join and Memo fields, and has referential
integrity enforced. ACC2000: Table Corruption After Referential
Integrity Checks - 296389 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=296389
But it's more likely to be a sign of corruption

For more information on corruption including possible causes,
determining the offending PC, retrieving your data, links, official MS
KB articles and a list of vendors who state they can fix corruption
