[AccessD] access database needs repair

Hi Dwayne,

You may not have necessarily indicated your level of expertise,
so I am just going to pose a few questions:

Did you check for and delete the locking .LDB file that opens
with the mdb?

If so, did you try importing objects from your mdb using a new mdb?
Or, perhaps, using Excel, try to import the data?

Have you tried JetComp? See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
