Tonight I had a corrupt database which Access was able to repair after I
made my backup. The database seems to be working well again. How certain can
I be that the database is repaired well and doesn't have any hidden errors
still inside. Should I take some other precautions? Should I rebuild the app
beforehand by importing the tables, reports etc in another databse?
Thanks for any advice.

The database is probably okay.
Look in the list of tables for any new tables. If you see a name such as
Microsoft Repair Error, read the table to see what it says. You may find
that a bad record was deleted, or an index was dropped. Check the
Relationships diagram (Tools menu) to ensure each table's primary key is in
place and all relationships still exist.
Importing everything into a new app, while not essential, does force Access
to read all the objects from the database. So if there was a problem with
reading an object, it would show up by doing that. Before you do, I suggest
you decompile the app, and ensure that Name AutoCorrect is turned off in the
new app before importing. Then eliminate all references you don't need, and
check that it compiles.

A decompile is only relevant if it's a front-end. Back ends, with
tables only, don't usually have any code in them to be decompiled.

Thanks Allen,
No new tables appeared and no links disappeared, so I'm not going into the
hassle of importing into a new database. Thanks for the info.
