I can't open an Access Database file. What could be wrong?

I've used an Access database file to store my contacts details for ages. Now I can't open the file. It seems to be damaged. How can I repair the file.

Create a new access database, then use the table linking option to link to the one that won't "open". Transfer your data over to your new, uncorrupt database that way.
