It also stated at top that it was an article for access 95/97. I have 2000, thanks for the article link does explain a little more than what I didn't know. -----Original Message----- From: Janine Jakim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 10:47 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: access db With everyone out of the database is there still a ldb hanging around in the file??

Is it the whole database or maybe one corrupt table? can you open the tables individually? I've seen lots of access databases where one table corrupts but it looks like the whole thing is whacked out. -----Original Message----- From: Bryan F.
