I have Access 2000 at home, and 2003 at work.

I can still open my file at work, but the same file at home cant be opened. It keeps giving "microsoft access has encountered an error" etc.. send error report..

Any suggesstions?

Thanks!
 
Are you using the 2000 format for the file? Have you done a Compact and Repair at work first before bringing the db home?
 
yes i am using the access 2000 file format.

No i havent done the Compact and Repair at work first before bringing the db home. How would I do that? Sorry Im really new in access!

Cheers!
 
It is one of the Database Utilities under the Tools menu.
 
i've had that occasionally, and the only way ive been able to fix it was to import everything into a blank database
 
thanks, how would i import it into a blank database? sorry im really new!
 
Create a new, empty db and then File>Get External Data>Import... and find your old db and select everything.
