Reserved Error -1601

[xtreme1]

I'm running into a reserved error (-1601) when attempting to change a date field of a table. I successfully copied the record containing this problem, so I would now like to be able to delete it. Unfortunately, any deletion attempts result in that same error. Has anyone ever experienced this problem before? I'm curious about what could cause this sort of thing as well, it's my first time ever coming across it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Error code -1601 indicates corruption of some sort. Try to repair the database. If Access can't repair it, download the JetComp utility from Micosoft and use it to repair the DB. It can repair more problems than Access can.

I appreciate the help, and I'll post back as soon as I try the utility you mentioned. Access repair just completely corrupts the file by the way, so that's a no go. Thanks for the help so far though, I appreciate it.

No dice, whatever happened, it's in bad shape...=( I'm going to have to try and salvage as much information as possible from this I suppose. I'll check back shortly to see if any other suggestions have been posted, but from the looks of things, I'd say this is not going to be easily fixable. Thanks again...
