MS Access and 'MsysDB'

[David]

I converted an MS Access database from to MS 2000
recently. The conversion worked fine, but a few days later
and I could not open the database. This error message
appears:

"The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the
object 'MsysDb'. Make sure the object exists and that you
spell its name and the path correctly."

I find no mention of MsysDb in the MS Access Help index.
So what is this MsysDB, what caused it and why can't I
open my database?

Unfortunately, that error is usually a sign of database corruption. (MSysDB
is a hidden system table in the database)
