Database doesn't open every time

[David Tunstall]

Please help.

I have been running a database for about 12 months.
Updating has never been a problem but on this last update
the database doesn't open every time. It is password
protected - it asks for the password, i put it in but
nothing happens. I check the folder it is stored in and
its shows that the file is open but for some reason it
wont let me in - I have to shut the comp down and restart
it. I haven't done anything drastic to this last update
just added a couple of reports.

Please help
Many Thanks
David

Hi,
Tony Toews has reported this behavior as a corrupted database symptom:
