That's one of the advantages of a split database. Just delete the
corrupt frontend and give them a clean copy! The data is all in the
backend so you lose nothing.

If you didn't keep a copy of the frontend, well... do. You might get
lucky; try opening the frontend and using Tools... Database
Utilities... Compact and Repair Database. For other alternative
techniques see
