Your database is damaged, or destroyed. Do you have a current backup?
(If not, you now have a painful lesson in why they're essential).

Check the suggestions at

for possible salvage ideas, and for ways to prevent or minimize such
corruption in the future.

Is this a split database? Is the frontend a MDB or a MDE? If it's a
MDE, can you create a new MDE from the MDB that you kept in reserve?

Can you open the backend and see the tables (all of them)? If so, it's
probably a corrupt frontend and you'll need to restore from a backup
(or rebuild the application). All I can suggest is that you follow the
suggestions in the Corruption FAQ (which is unfortunately offline at
the moment, I'm sure Tony will get it back up soon).
