    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...

    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?...

    Hi everyone, and thanks for replying

    I'll read through all of your comments and links and will hopefully find something that can help me out.

    With regard to the comment about the network, the db is local when i'm working with it so I'm not sure that network problems would be causing this but I will investigate this suggestion further. Thank you.

    With regard to the comments about size and such, I really...

    That's what I do. I actually created a 'shell', and have to go back and get that and start importing objects into it, which definitely works, but I just don't understand why it keeps happening. I spend a lot of time starting over, rebuilding it because this happens and I can't think of anything I'm doing that could cause it.

    Thank you....

    yes, 'helpfully'. I've gone through and checked each table as you've described, and I don't see any Indexes. It also will not allow me to delete a table-it says the microsoft jet engine has gone on vacation or something-can't find the object. It will not allow me to import data using the odbc connection-it says invalid argument. Won't let me compact and repair-invalid argument.

    I usually have to rebuild the whole db. Any ideas...

    Stupid question: how did these indexes get set?...

    Invalid Argument

    Hi

    I have a database, with which I have always had problems. Sometimes they were Invalid Argument problems, and sometimes there were others (such as that the record was too large). Some of the tables are very large and only linked in, some are imported. The ODBC is a pervasive odbc engine interface.

    In the past, some of the problems have gone away by compacting and repairing the database. Still, it's difficult to...
