I assume you mean that the file is corrupt, not physically displaced. First,
always work on a copy of the database. Working on the original may make it
impossible for a repair service to fix it.

Download a copy of JetComp.exe:

Try backing up your forms as text with the undocumented SaveAsText
LoadFromText functions:

Also have a look at the Microsoft KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;209137

Then have a look at Tony Toews' Access Corruption FAQ at:

http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm

for some suggestions. Unfortunately, some corruption cannot be fixed - you
may need to create a new database, import what can be salvaged, and recreate
the rest.

Although it's a paid service, Peter Miller does an outstanding job of saving
corrupt databases. Try this URL:
