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:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;273956

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

http://www.datastrat.com/Code/DocDatabase.txt

Also have a look at the Microsoft KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;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:

Do you mean lost as in "it was on my usb stick and now I can't find my memory
stick" or lost as in "I compiled my Access 2007 db and now I can't find the
file" or lost as in "it's not on my list of most recent files and I don't
remember where I saved it"?

Sorry, I meant "compacted my Access 2007 db and now I can't find the file".
