hello everybody

can anybody help my plea please as i use windows xp pro with all the updates and when i try and open up the organiser from the main page i get a popup box saying

there was a problem opening the catalog named my catalog psa so i changed the name of the catalog to dads catalog but has not made any difference
the rest of the wording in the popup box is
another user or aplication may have the catalog open one or more files may be missing out of date or damaged.
the odbc data source reported the following error
microsoft odbc access driver could not find the file (unknown) attempt to compact and recover this catalog then open again well i have tried that and it says it was succesfull but i still cannot use the organbiser because of this fault
Now i have looked in the forums and there is a way round this problem in windows vista but nothing in xp pro as this programe has been on the go foe a while now has anybidy else had the same problem if so how do you sort it out please
