I once had a problem with a database that was giving me the error "Can't find «Description» field" when closing the DB. I searched the forums only to find out that many had the same problem but none had the answer. The problem stopped within a few days with no reason.
Now, it starting again. I did some more searches with no answers again. Did some tests too and finaly found the answer. It does happen when you have "automaticaly compact on close" and there is not enough space left to make a copy of the original before compacting. I still can't understand why that gives the error message we get, but at least I now know what to do to prevent the Db to do it.
Hopping that this will also serves the ones that asked about it in the threads I've seen before but just can't find easily anymore.
