Glenda, I agree with Jim, sounds like corruption, which can happen.  I have
had it happen when there was a server disconnect and the database
connection was open, though not in use.  When they re-booted the server, I
could not get back into the database for anything and had to create a new
clean database and import everything.

Are any of the tables linked to other sources outside your database?    If
there are links, make sure they are refreshed.   I've had situations where
things were running like clockwork for months, years, then when they made a
change to the linked tables and their relationships - ouch!

Have there been any server changes in your server or operating system?  I
have also had situations where Novell Client was part of our old server
structure, then they moved to Windows Active Directory, and when I shared a
database with other users who had not been moved to active directory yet,
they were on Novell and I was not, there was database corruption everytime
we both opened the same database.  I had Novell re-installed, and it was
ok.  Once Novell was taken off all our servers completely, we un-installed
it from our machines and no more problems. Things happen at the worst times
and there can be numerous causes.

 In addition to the JetComp utility Jim recommends, there are 2 other
things you can try.  (Make a backup 1st!)
1. Go into the relationship window, delete the current relationships, save,
close, then re-open it, re-set the relationships.
2. Create a blank new database and import all the forms, reports, queries,
etc., from the original database.

Hope this helps, Cathy

I have a database macro in access 2003 that I run every day to delete
tables, create tables and append data in tables. For months, no problem.
All of a sudden, a make table query comes up with the error, cannot
delete table XXX because it is involved in one or more relationships.
Since I've not done anything to the db in months, I have no idea why
this is suddenly popping up.  In the relationships window, the table in
question is in relationships but it's never been a problem before.

If anyone can suggest what might have happened here, I'd appreciate it.
