Error Message

When I sign into my database a welcome page is automatically displayed. Now
when I click the ok button or hit enter to go to the main menu I get a
message that Access has encountered a problem and needs to close. It trys to
compact and repair my database at that time but I am still not able to get it
to run. I haven't done any design changes for several days and the problem
came on very suddenly. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem
and how I can fix it? Help!

If compact and repair does not help, you might want to fall back to a recent
backup.

Well, I had thought about that but I have more than one database and none of
them are working now. I was wondering if it was a problem with the program
itself that could be fixed.

Hmm. I don't know, but you may want to check for broken references,
just in case; especially if this is happening in multiple, different
databases. Hold down the Shift key while opening your application --
with luck that will keep any startup code from running. Then press
Alt+F11 to open the VB Editor, click Tools -> References..., and follow
the directions in the Doug Steele's article posted here:

If that is of no avail, you may want to try repairing your installation
of Access.
