        while you're there, i've got kind of a silly question-could it be that i am bouncing back and forth betwee 2000 and 2003 when opening the database, and that's what's causing the corruption?

          Since I'm here.

          Even close to the 2 gig limit is enough to make it bomb out and completely corrupt the db. I don't think switching between versions should cause you grief. I do that quite often, with many different versions over the years.

          See the post:

              No! Don't do that db's can be lots of fun once you understand them. Not to mention decent money can be a result as well. Have you tried to implement any of the suggestions mentioned in the previous posts? If so which one and where do you stand?

                LOL
                Great idea - except you'd be losing out on a lot of fun. The idea of seeing their face when you told them would be worth a laugh though :D

                Anyway, can you explain what is actually in the db that gets corrupted. I'm thinking of how big that one actually is (rather than databases it simply links to)?

                  I haven't worked with it in a couple of weeks. but check this post at the beginng of April if you want to see me yelling and whining about it. As far as I can remember, it just doesn't open the tables, there are no links in any of them, it doesn't allow me to compact and repair, it's only two of the tables and they're both linked, and that's all I can remember. But when I start whining in April, I will try to be methodical in my whining. No guarantees about my yelling tho. Thanks!

                    Sounds good. I'll wait for the details as I cannot progress without reliable details.

                    As soon as you post in here it will come up as a flagged thread that needs looking at, so no worries about continually monitoring ;)
