HELP! Error Message

[Novice2000]

Hi,

I am trying to run a form base on a query and I am getting this message:

Reserved error (-1517); there is no message for this error.

It was working perfectly yesterday. Anyone have any idea what this means.
Thanks

I am trying to run a form base on a query and I am getting this message:

Reserved error (-1517); there is no message for this error.

It was working perfectly yesterday. Anyone have any idea what this means.

I have no experience with this problem, but...

Here be a previous response for this error:

What the heck does this mean?
Reserved error (-1517); there is no message for this error

This error will occur if you change the design of a table, but don't follow
through with a compact. If your database is split, it is a good idea to
compact the backend after a design change, and also refresh the links in the
frontend and compact it.

Yes. Thanks. However what actually occurred is that I compacted the database,
which hadn't been compacted in a long time. Then when I tried to run my form
I got the message. The only way I could repair this was to detach the table
and then reattach it. Weird.
