One of my users today turned off his computer w/o closing the app (and
therefore the mdb) -- the app was dormant at the time.  When I turned the
computer back on I opened Access 97 to run a Repair and Compact, in that
order, and a few seconds into the Repair method Windows 98 crashed with a VX
... error.  Since I couldn't recover from the crash, I rebooted and on the
reboot it located two lost cluster chains, which I saved (only 4K).
Whenever I try and load the mdb into Access I get the following error (and
the file is not loaded):

'C:\[Path\filename].mdb' isn't an index in table.  Look in the Indexes
collection of the TableDef object to determine the valid index names.

where [Path\filename] is just the description of the file.  Please someone
tell me that I am not completely screwed.  I have a backup which is a couple
of days old but I really don't want to lose the interim data.  I would not
think twice about paying someone to remedy the situation -- the file is
small (1.6meg zipped) so I can easily email it.  Please let me know,

Thanks,
Craig
