Access will now compact and repair the MDB file and save a restored version in the location you selected.

it usually means that no table exists in the default database with the given name. In some cases, it may be that the table does exist but that you are referring to it incorrectly. Maybe your database and table names are case sensitive if they are located on a file system that has case-sensitive file names. Or perhapsall references to a given table within a query must use the same lettercase.
Use SHOW TABLES to check which tables are in the default database.
Well, if you are sure that table is exist and you write its name exactly such it should be, then I suppose something wrong with the database, it can be seriously corrupt. And in this case you need a professional help. This tool must help at any rate - Recovery Toolbox for MySQL https://mysql.recoverytoolbox.com/

It costs money but if time is an issue it might be worth buying to get you out of a jam !

At times, you may view that your MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 database is behaving abnormally. Some of the abnormal symptoms could be an error message while opening any database table, invalid characters in place of pre-defined values, and and more. The main reason for abnormal behavior of the database is its corruption due some logical crash. Few common reasons for corruption of MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 database are abnormal termination, faulty network devices, simultaneous modifications, conflicting third-party software, and incompatible service packs.
To overcome such database corruption scenarios, the user can use an up-to-date backup and perform restoration. However, restoration fails in cases where the user either forgets to create a database or the database backup itself gets damaged. In such cases, the database users can use a third-party DBF File Repair application to repair his/her corrupted database.
To illustrate the above case, consider a real-time scenario wherein you execute a query to modify your MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 database. While the query was performing the modification, the system shutdown due to power failure. However, the next time you tried to mount the database, you encountered an error message that did not allow you to access the database records. Moreover, the same error message appears every time you try to access the database.
Cause:
The root cause for the error message is MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 database corruption due to improper system shutdown.
Resolution:
The database corruption error message can be surmounted by following the below steps:
Use a complete database backup and perform restoration. However, in case of database backup unavailability, you will need to search for a commercial DBF File Repair utility.
A third-party DBF Repair application uses effective repair techniques to repair logically damaged MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 database and restore it at a new and safe location. The original database during the repair process remains intact. The tool is easy-to-understand and allows even a non-technical person to perform repair.
DBF Recovery Software is a comprehensive solution to repair databases created in MS Visual FoxPro 9.0, MS Visual FoxPro 8.0, and MS Visual FoxPro 7.0. The tool also repairs databases built in dBase III, dBase IV, and dBase V. Supported by Windows 7, Vista, 2003, XP, and 2000, the DBF Repair tool creates a new repaired file that can be attached to existing database.
Tanvi Sharma is a self employed Internet entrepreneur and product reviewer. This DBF Repair utility is extremely useful when the dBase and Foxpro database gets corrupted due to internal program errors, hardware malfunctioning, accidental deletion of data and more. This DBF Repair software repairs all types of database components including table name, column name, column data type, indexes and primary keys.

"The Microsoft Jet Database Engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'"There are several causes for this error message:

• The account that Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is using (which is usually IUSR) does not have the correct Windows NT permissions for a file-based database or for the folder that contains the file.
• The file and the data source name are marked as Exclusive.
• Another process or user has the Access database open.
• The error may be caused by a delegation issue. Check the authentication method (Basic versus NTLM), if any. If the connection string uses the Universal Naming Convention (UNC), try to use Basic authentication or an absolute path such as C:\Mydata\Data.mdb. This problem can occur even if the UNC points to a resource that is local to the IIS computer.
• This error may also occur when you access a local Microsoft Access database that is linked to a table where the table is in an Access database on a network server.

Resolution

• Check the permissions on the file and the folder. Make sure that you have the ability to create and/or destroy any temporary files. Temporary files are usually created in the same folder as the database, but the file may also be created in other folders such as the WINNT folder. For additional information about how to identify which folder does not have the correct permissions and how to configure temporary files, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 253604 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/253604/ ) Microsoft Access 97 database connectivity fails in Active Server Pages If you use a network path to the database (UNC or mapped drive), check the permissions on the share, the file, and the folder.
• Verify that the file and the data source name (DSN) are not marked as Exclusive.
• The "other user" may be Microsoft Visual InterDev. Close any Visual InterDev projects that contain a data connection to the database.
• Simplify. Use a System DSN that uses a local drive letter. If necessary, move the database to the local drive to test.
• Follow the instructions in the following article to work around this problem: 189408 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189408/ ) FIX: ASP fails to access network files under IIS 4.0 and IIS 5.0

Your version of Access may require slightly different menus and clicks than mine, but the procedure is straightforward and should be very similar to what you will need to do. Read the whole post first!

Make sure you have permission to modify the database, then go to the form (I assume the drop-down table is in a form) and go to design view.

In design view, click once on the dropdown box you are having a problem with, and a properties screen with several tabs should pop up; click on the data tab, and look at 'data source'. In the list look for 'row source type' to see if the source of your data is a) a table or a query, b) a value list or c) a field list. Most dropdown boxes use either a value list or data from another table or a query (based on a table).

Check the source of data by going down to the next line in the list titled 'Row Source' (this is the list on the data tab that popped up when you clicked on the dropdown box in design view).

If the source is a table/query type you should see some code in the Row Source box like "SELECT....". Without changing anything, click once immediately to the right of the box, and whatever source the rows are coming from should pop up--if a query, for instance, it will pop up the underlying query in design view.

You should be able to troubleshoot the underlying query to see why no data is given in the dropdown box.

Another point where underlying query or table is used: If the table was based on a query that pulls data from the records in the current database, the drop down list will be blank until new records are added so the query has something to list.

And if the source is a 'value list', the values should be included in the row source box below, separated by semicolons. If not you simply need to add them in.

If your source is a field list, go back to whomever copied the database and tell them you need help with the copy they gave you...

could you check whether you are connected to the database, where you are trying to create table,

check the database list, then connect to the database you want then execute the table creation ddl,
if no db found then create a database then proceed.

have an Access 2003 database that appears to be very corrupt.
I was having a problem and did a compact and repair on it, and I
lost my network connection during the process. Now when I try
to open it (or access it via DTS, VB, anything I can think of),
I get

"The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because
you and another user are attempting to change the same data at
the same time".

I have rebooted the machine that was accessing it, and no
help. I can't reboot the server now because it's a 24/7 file
server. Is there any way to get this database open? I have
searched and found a bunch of demo programs that will
"uncorrupt" it and show some data (but not save it), so I know
it's possible, but is it possible without buying one of those
programs?
thanks

Hi, I got the same problem. The solution for me was: 1) RUN IMDATUpd.exe 2) Start SpySubtract 3) (Update needed so) Update defenition 4) Up-and-running again! Good luck and best regards, Garfied!
