I have linked tables in an Omnis database to MS ACCESS. The connection was working for several days. Now I get an error saying: " ODBC-call failed
Unable to read disk(bad disk)(#0)"

I have reinstalled the driver and tried to link tables in a new MS ACCESS db with no luck.
 
Have you ran a checkdisk on the database server?

Thanks for the reply.

How do I run a checkdisk on the server?
 
Right click on the drive in Windows explorer, then properties|tools|error checking. Should schedule a check next time the machine is reatarted.
