Error Message: "Not A Valid Bookmark"

[ShellWorker]

I was inside the workspace trying to open a query in design view. It came back with an error message "Disk or Network Error".

Then when I tried to get back into the workspace it said that I needed to repair the database.

I tried to repair the database and when it was finished it said that some object was missing.

Now when I try to get into the database it comes back with "Not A Valid Bookmark".

I tried to open a blank database and import all the objects, but when I select the database to import from, I get "Not A Valid Bookmark".

Any ideas/suggestions?

You lost your network connection while a recordset was open. The lost connection invalidated the recordset. The invalidated recordset cancelled the bookmark. The lost connection appears to have also trashed the database.

If you can get exclusive mode operation to open the database, you can try to compact and repair the .MDB file. Otherwise I hope you have a good backup.
