sorry jacob that was not meant for you it was for the one you were actually answering to  "By 2008, lecturers in the campus i was were refusing software projects done using Ms Access"

please am sorry about it.
 now in regards to the data I cant zip it for you because it has vital data.but am trying RADS solution.

about the details of the error  again are as follows.allow me to explain

in access you restrict access to data by giving them passwords.ok so thats what i did then once the data got corrupted the application linked to that data began to give the above error.

so to get to the problem I got the database,and I tried to open it  and ofcourse it asks for the password.

After entering the password,...ok instead of opening up,it brings the above error hope am clear now




if it works I will let skunks know

I have several ideas..
1. i can give you a copy of MS Access 97 which you are still looking for
2. you can email me the database to look for myself as the details you
are giving arent sufficient to give a concrete solution

lastly i have not claimed to be a "database guru" I was only answering a
previous post.
