Subject: [mso] corrupted Access DB?


I have a copy of an Access 2002 DB that we are trying to open at our office,
in Access 2003.  This is the text of the error I'm getting when I try to
open it.  Does this mean the copy I have is unusable?

"This database is in an unexpected state; Microsoft Office Access can't open
it.

This database has been converted from a prior version of Microsoft Office
Access by using the DAO CompactDatabase method instead of the Convert
Database command on the Tools menu (Database Utilities submenu). This has
left the database in a partially converted state.

If you have a copy of the database in its original format, use the Convert
Database command on the Tools menu (Database Utilities submenu) to convert
it.  If the original database is no longer available, create a new database
and import your tables and queries to preserve your data. Your other
database objects can't be recovered."

Thanks,
Elise
