it's a MDB file on the net using for Snitz forum.

What version of Access do you have?
If the DB was created with Access XP (2002) or Access 2003 and you are using Access 2000 or earlier then this is what will happen when you try to open the file.
It has nothing to do with the Snitz forum, I have used them for years. Check your version of Access.
Tip - Check out ServerHackers version of the Snitz forums

i'm using ServerHackers version.
both are 2002 ver.

So, the DB is 2002 AND you have Access 2002 installed on your machine - correct?
Have you ever been able to open this .mdb?
Do you have any other versions of Access also installed?
Even if the runtime of an older version is installed it may be confusing things for the machine.
It could be that the DB has become corrupt too. Do you make backups??

So...
I would try a different computer, with Access2002 installed. That just might not work. If not, all might be lost. That happens to me sometimes with this forum.
I don't think this is the case with yigal7 (Correct me if I'm wrong) but if one were to get this error and one needed the data (Not the functionability of the database) could you use Mail Merge and Word to get at it?

Actually, the only functionality with these is data storage. The DB acts as the BE with only tables included. The FE is done with ASP.
Try what mtairhead said if you have another PC available, or else download a clean 2002 DB from snitz or SH and see if you can open that.
