Hi, new at this. I got a message that says "This
database is in an unexpected state and MA cannot open it.
This database has been converted from a prior version of
MA by using the DAO Compact Database Method instead of the
convert database command on the tools menu. If you have a
copy of the database in it's original format use the
convert database command on the tools menu."

I did and it doesn't work. It says I have already
converted to that version. I am desperate. Does anyone
know what this may mean?
 
Hi Kelli,

For starters make a backup of the corrupt database and hang on to it. Next
you might try compacting your database using Jetcomp, which is available at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=273956

If that fails you can look at some of the other suggestions given here:
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm.

If you can not fix it yourself and you do not have a backup then you should
probably contact on of the repair specialists - several are listed at the
above site. http://www.pksolutions.com/ is the one with which I am most
familiar.
