Yesterday I found out that I had the Anitexe virus on my
computer, and of course it affected Access. I have two
linked tables. When I try to open the tables now I get
an error message

Unrecognized database format 'C:\Documents and Settings
\ All Users \ Document \ my file name

How can I unlink these tables and FIX them

Louise,

AntiExe is an old boot sector virus, which is unlikely to have affected any
of your database files, although perhaps it could have damaged one of the
executables associated with Access.

Here is a link with more information on the virus and instructions on how to
remove it:

In addition, you must secure your computer against additional infections.
Here is a link which covers what you should be (should have been) doing to
keep your computer secure:

Once your computer is secure, you may want to do a re-install of Access.
 
Okay I did that and get the same error message. I am
wondering if it is my Office Disk that is infected. I
might try a different one.

Any other ideas?
