File "MSysDb"

[Gary]

Our network people move an ACCESS 2000 database file (.mdb)
to a new cluster. Since then, when opening the file an
error message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not
find the object 'MSysDb'.

I can't find this object anywhere. What is it and where
do I find it?

Thanks
Gary

Sounds like one of the system tables (visible in the database window if you
choose Tools --> Options --> Show system objects. You may be able to fix
the problem by importing all of the objects into a new database.

That's a sign of corruption.
I suggest you copy the database first.

Try compacting your database using Jetcomp, available at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=273956

If that fails, try creating a new database and importing objects from the
old.

If that fails, you can try www.pksolutions.com

Thanks for your reply. My problem is, the file won't
open. I get that message when I try so importing is not
an option. I have the systems tables showing and still
can't find "MSysDb".

Any other ideas?

Did you try JetComp? If that doesn't work, then try pksolutions.
