I have one client that is has an extremely slow network and is extremely impatient. They have corrupted their database 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Everytime they get a missing or corrupted index error, and can't open the file. I know with other software you can isolate the table definitions in a separate file so that they can be rebuilt. Any ideas if this can be done in Access 97?

No, Access has everything built into the .MDB so you don't have to keep track of it.

Unfortunately, I can't split the database or create an .MDE because its the back end of a thirdparty software. But thank you for the help. And as far as the system, its very speedy. (550 PIII) However, there network is a 10T. Yuck!! Thanks for all your help.
