Reserved Error (-5001), there is no message for this error

It would help to know a little bit more about your problem.
1. We assume this is MS-Access? Which version?
2. Does your database(s) have a 'StartupForm', or some macro that is executed on startup?
Meanwhile, what happens if you create a blank database, then link to one of the tables in the 'bad' database, then try to open the table? Do you get the error?
35+ years of 'progress' -- can't we all just go wire boards again?

Trevil,
It is MS-Access 2000 (9.0.3821 SR-1)
The database does start using an Autoexec Macro to open a Form. Currently, everyone else on our network who logs in to Novell can run the database. However, when I use my Novell login, the database will not work and I get the error that I mentioned.
When I created a blank database and linked to a table in the bad database, and opened the table in the new database I get the following message "Unkown".

My first guess would be that you have *lost* your rights somewhere in the path. If no other user has the database open, you will need create / write etc. permission on the folder where the database is stored (will create LDB file).
If you hold down the shift key to bypass the startup macro, can you open the database? If not, it's probably your rights. If yes, then are the tables located in that database, or are they linked to that database? If linked, I expect some level of authentication is hosed up.
