Access 2003 has a live backup utility within it.  
Closes the db backups up, reopens.  
If she saved backup to same file...???

  Um ... How could she back up her database over an open database?  The
  mind boggles.

  Dear List:

  User of a client has backed up her database OVER her open database
  (third hand report but I think it's true).  Now Access gives
  'Unrecognized Database Format' when trying to open it (surprise,
  surprise).  I think this db is hosed beyond repair.  

  Any last ditch ideas anybody?

  (tried jetcomp - it says 'can't compact this version')
