I have a multi user db with a front end for each user and
a back end for the tables. A new XP computer has just
started accessing the db and the back end keeps
corrupting, needing to be repaired.

On the XP box the jet dll version is 5.1.2600.0. Do I need
to change the version of the jet dll on my NT and 2000
machines? Or should I just change the XP box to 2000.

Any help would be appreciated

Make sure that *all* of the workstations are updated to the latest Jet SP level
(SP8). See the following page at Tony Toews' web site for some helpful
information:

As for Jet updates, see (with Windows 2000, just go to Windows Update):

You can also go to the Microsoft Office Products Update site to check for, and
install, application updates:
