Hi all,

I've been receiving the following error on my website.

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Not a valid bookmark.

/FCB/Services/Forum/forum_topics.asp, line 417

I tried restoring an archive of the db but it still fails, so I guess it is kinda a server problem. Do you have any ideas about what my cause this?

thanks a lot,

This error means that the Access database has become corrupted.

Try downloading the database and compacting and repairing it in MS Access (it's under the Tools menu in Access)

If that doesn't work then I'm afraid you may have lost your database.

Access is a flat file system and isn't really designed for a demanding application like a forum so often becomes corrupted. I do try to tell people that if they have more than a handful of members to use the MS SQL Server version.
