It MIGHT be an MDAC problem. Does 'compress' work on a good ddb?
Here's the link to MS's website for the Microsoft Data Access
Components(MDAC); I think Protel supports MDAC 2.5 -- I'd check the
knowledge base, too.

From:
got a new machine and a fresh installation of protel
on a current job if we try to run the repair ddb utility it grinds for a
while and then protel closes all by itself
we never get the 'repair successful' or any message from protel
tried on another machine, same file over network and it worked
