What does this query error message mean: Cannot open database ".

I get a weird error message when I try to run a make table query, but yet the
same query will work as a select query. I know the file isn't currupt, as
I've used different versions of the database. The full error message reads:

Cannot open database ". It may not be a database that your application
recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.
 
Please post the SQL statement for the query. Maybe we can figure out
something from it.

Permissions issue? All users of a database file require Modify
permissions for the folder containing the database file if multi-user
activity is required.

Is the database read-only?

I've only ever seen this error message when access remote databases or
from external applications. Is this query attempting to make a table in
another database file?
