Trying to open up a file in Access 97 and getting the
error mentioneed above.
That's a message I don't ever recall seeing in the newsgroups in those
circumstances.
MAKE A BACKUP FIRST.
If it's the compiled code which is corrupt then a decompile might
solve that. See the decompile page at my website for more info.
If it's the source code then try holding down the shift key while
entered the MDB to see if you can get in that way. If you can then
Ctrl+G to open the debug window >> Debug >> Compile and Save All
Modules and hopefully you will be able to fix any errors.
You may need to delete the offending form, report or module and import
it from a backup MDB.
