Lisa, Check repair, as suggested by Bobby, is worth trying, however this is not a Legacy error. The Access error with this number indicates that it may be due to a file name being too long (> 100 characters), or suggests compressing the file.
How are you trying to back up – using the Legacy multi-media backup, so some other way?

Error checking Picture and Sound File Locations. Error 3163: The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data. I received this error message as I was making a back up. I did not receive it as I was attaching my pictures. I do not have any sould files. I have searched through the LUG archives, but did not find a solution. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
