I get a weird error message when I try to run a make table query, but
yet the same query will work as a select query. I know the file isn't
currupt, as I've used different versions of the database. The full
error message reads:

Cannot open database ". It may not be a database that your application
recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.

Permissions issue? All users of a database file require Modify
permissions for the folder containing the database file if multi-user
activity is required.

Is the database read-only?

I've only ever seen this error message when access remote databases or
from external applications. Is this query attempting to make a table in
another database file?
