Sounds to me like the database is secured and you are not logging in using
the appropriate workgroup file.

Oh, then it's easy: all the original poster has to do is find the owner of
the database, get the workgroup, and have the owner assign him/her a userid
and password. Failing that, spend a little money for a "password recovery"
package.

It's not a "toughie" like it would be if the file were corrupted -- which by
the way can give very similar error messages to this. If opening Access and
running Compact and Repair on the problem database doesn't fix it,
corruption is usually unfixable, and you have to revert to the last good
backup copy.

I am having the same problem and I think it was caused by an earlier "Compact
& Repair". If that is the case is there no way to retreive the data from the
database?
