There is my tried and true of dumping all of the database into a new blank
database.  That has fixed quite a lot of messed up databases for me.

Dear List:

A client of mine has a database which got corrupted.  I told them to open
the back end directly and they got the message which said database appears
to be corrupted would you like to attempt repair, which they did and it
appeared to go OK.

However, apparently all is not well, because when I try to add a record to a
detail file - bound form, subform on a tab - the command DoCmd.GoToRecord
,,acNewRec blows up with 'Can't go to specified record'. 

When I run the query that is the record source for the subform, it does
indeed not allow additions.

When I do the same thing on an older copy of their database everything works
OK.  So I know it's not in the front end.  

Can this db be saved?

MTIA,

P.S. Yes they have a backup but no it's not recent.  Apparently the person
responsible for backup up...didn't.
