That error message is not often (ever?) given when there is a corruption to
the db. You usually get a corruption error message afer you connect
successfully. This message is most often given when your path or filename is
not correct. Are you sure you have the path and filename correct? not .gdb,
on the d: drive which is a system drive with no path?
