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
