I have been searching for an answer to this, but no luck. Has anyone ever seen the below error when loading an Access 2003 database?

"[database name] has detected corruption in this file. To try to repair the corruption, first make a backup copy of the file. Then, on the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities, and click Compact and Repair Database. If you are currently trying to repair the corruption then you will need to recreate this file or restore it fom a previous back up."

The database is already compiled and compacted. It's a new Access 2003 program. Only one user is experiencing this problem. She is on XP while the others are on Windows 2000. Everyone is using 2003. I saw other odd error messages on this machine with other databases, but I was able to avoid them by setting the Macro settings to Low. This is a Network environment. Any thoughts?
 
I can't say with 100% certainty that this will solve the problem, but I would suggest you have that user do a repair of their Office 2003 installation.

They should also go to office.microsoft.com and make sure they have all of the latest patches and security fixes.

Obviously, do the same for XP as well.

That should knock out the obvious stuff -- maybe it will resolve your problem.

Good luck!
