I have a multiuser database access97 data file (tables only) that keeps needing repair. The table database is on a NT server. The users are located in several states and connected via corporate WAN. I have 62 users with individual front end files run locally on each users machine. Some of the front ends are access2000, some are 97. This error seems to happen almost daily. Im's suspecting the access2000 files are the culprit as I did not have this problem when 97 was used exclusively. Any ideas?

I am also having the same problem with my access database which worked fine in Access97. The problem started after converting to Access2000 running on Access Runtime.
