That message can occur if a replica is attempted before all records have
been saved. It can also occur if a record is corrupt. If at all possible,
use your backup. If not, make sure that you copy the file before attempting
to fix it. Always work on a copy of the database when attempting repairs.
Working on the original may make it impossible for a repair service to fix
it.

Also have a look at the Microsoft KB article:

Then have a look at Tony Toews' Access Corruption FAQ at:

http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm

for some suggestions. Unfortunately, some corruption cannot be fixed - you
may need to create a new database, import what can be salvaged, and recreate
the rest.

Although it's a paid service, Peter Miller does an outstanding job of saving
corrupt databases. Try this URL:
