Database Error? Help?

[StuInBerks]

Opening a database with Access 2000 (also created in 2000). The database has a password. After the password has been entered the following error appears:

THE DATABASE .MDB NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR ISNT A DATABASE FILE.

YOU OR ANOTHER USER MAY HAVE UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT MICROSOFT ACCESS WHILE A MICROSOFT ACCESS DATABASE WAS OPEN.

DOU YOU WANT MICROSOFT ACCESS TO TRY AND REPAIR THE DATABASE?

After I have clicked on yes, the following error appears:

THE DATABASE .MDB CAN NOT BE REPAIRED OR ISNT A MICROSOFT ACCESS DATABASE FILE.

Also after this error appears, i get another dialog box stating that the password is not valid, even though the password is correct.

I Have tried importing the tables into a new database, and also tried Compact and Repair, but to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Take a look here and if this doesn't work then it is time to bring out the backup copy of your database...
