One reason that Microsoft Access will generate that kind of error message is because of a string with invalid characters. Did you make sure that no team names end in a period? Are there unusual nicknames or funky ascii carriage return type symbols in the names, cities or nicknames fields? I'm not sure where else to look, this is not a common Cato History issue, but I have helped Access DB users correct the same error message by looking for any invalid characters.

Some MS help info here (http://support.microsoft.com/search/...&srchExtraQry=)
but this will require some heavy reading ana many of the suggestions won't apply. If I were you and I really wanted the program to work I'd probably try variations of the following: Uninstall MS Access and OOTP History, then reinstall OOTP History and see if it works. I'd definately want to uninstall/reinstall Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.7.
