All of a sudden, MS Access 2000 has stopped working on all databases. When I
click on a table, I get an error message that says only "Unknown" (nothing
else except an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle). I have tried
repairing MS Office, reinstalling the SP updates to SP3, installing
MDAC_TYP.exe; all to no avail.

Any suggestions before I completely uninstall office and reinstall will be
greatly appreciated.
 
1) Make backup copies of all your databases if you haven't already.
2) Try the file(s) on another computer and see what happens.
 
Thanks for the response Wayne. The databases run fine on other computers.
The problem is with every database on my computer (about 40.)
 
Well, that's good news for starters. It sounds as if the files themselves
are ok. The next question would be, what has been changed recently? However,
it may be easiest and quickest to just bite the bullet and try an
uninstall/reinstall of Office and see what happens.
 
I was hoping someone on the list would have a simpler solution before I did
that. I guess I'll go eat dinner and if noone has a quick and simple
solution, I'll uninstall/reinstall. Thanks.
