When trying to open an access database we are receiving this error:
The database 'K:\fspr\apps\database\ledger.mdb' needs to be repaired or
isn't a database file.
I tried running compact and repair database utility but get messages that
the password is not valid.
Then that the database can't be repaired  or isn't a microsoft database file.
We don't know of anything happening that could account ffor this, no one
exited unexpectedly, password wasn't changed.
Can anyone suggest what we can do to get the database opened?
Thanks,
Denise

Create a new .mdb file.
Cross fingers.
Attempt to import all objects from the corrupt to the new .mdb.

If that doesn't work http://www.pksolutions.com
