Daniel,
This is just a guess!
It sounds like someone opened the database file with something other than Access
and then sved the file in that software's format (with a different extension
other than .mdb). Try navigating to your database file in Windows Explorer and
see what the extension is. If it is something other than .mdb, try renamining
the file and changing the extension back to .mdb.

Fields in my forms show as "Error#" and back end file will no longer
open. Access asks if I would like to repair the database to which I
click "OK" but it then tells me that my file is not a database or
cannot be repaired. What happened? What can I do? Thanks for your
time.
