Program, 2005 will not open.

[Lucho]

I need to amend some returns from 2005 but I can not open the program. I get the message "the ATX2005.MDB is being optimized". Customer Support was not able to help me today; They said I need a new archive CD (I don't know why) They will mail it. I would appreciate any help to open this program so I can try to do the work for my clients during this weekend.

Thank you.

Same problem with 05 AND 04. Reinstalling and new CD didn't help. I get MX3 object not found on 04 and the MDB optimizing on 05. (03 - MX2, but 01 and 02 work perfectly?)

My 2005 opens OK. Running XP SR2.

I believe that you can correct that by using the repair feature. see KB 16568. I have had to do that in the past (with guidance from ATX Support)
