Reserved Error (-1517): There is no message for this error.

I have been getting this error on some of the frontends when
attempting to create new records. I haven't been able to find a list
of errors to even begin my troubleshooting. Can someone help? Rosy

I've noticed this problem several times when I've added a foreign key to a table in
the backend which was inserted into the middle of a table. Everything would work fine
for days or weeks until the backend was compacted. Then the FE would puke with the
-1517 error whenever that particular table was accessed. But deleting the link and
recreating the link or compacting the FE made it work again.
