Default Corrupt Access '97 Table

Hello,
I have an Access '97 database with a bad table that
crashes Access everytime I try to do anything to it.
Well, now I just want to delete the table but Access
crashes before it can. How can I get rid of that table?
Thanks!!!

Try creating a new database and importing all the objects except the grumpy
table.

Create a brand-new, empty database; use File... Get External Data...
Import to import everything BUT that table.

You can then delete the damaged database and rename the new one.
