I have an application running without trouble, installed at several clients.
It crashed and now Access is giving an error 3015: not an index table.
The file system reports over 1Gb on this database even though it should be
around 100 Mb
It seems to be no way to open it.
Any idea on how to read data?
Thanx

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!! You may need it!

Try creating a new, empty database and using File... Get External
Data... Import to import whatever can be salvaged from this database.

See Tony Toews' excellent "database corruption" FAQ at

http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm

for an assortment of suggestions.

Note that it is ESSENTIAL to regularly Compact your database! It may
have just been growing gradually; if you're running A97, the maximum
allowed size is 1 Gbyte, and the error may be due to exceeding this
size.
