LIORG.,
Try holding down the Shift key as you open the file. This will bypass
any autoexec macros you might have, and...also bypass any code that may be
running when you open your Startup "default" form.

There's a good chance that your database is corrupt. First, always work on a
copy of the database. Working on the original may make it impossible for a
repair service to fix it.

Download a copy of JetComp.exe:

Try backing up your forms as text with the undocumented SaveAsText
LoadFromText functions:

Also have a look at the Microsoft KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;209137

Then have a look at Tony Toews' Access Corruption FAQ at:

http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm

for some suggestions. Unfortunately, some corruption cannot be fixed - you
may need to create a new database, import what can be salvaged, and recreate
the rest.

Although it's a paid service, Peter Miller does an outstanding job of saving
corrupt databases. Try this URL:
