Without any additional information available, it sounds like your database (the archive.nsf file) may be corrupt. There are several good tools out there, some free, some not, which will address this issue:

Try one of them - you should be OK (provided of course the file is actually corrupt...).

Have you tried Fixup? Copy the nsf on to a Domino server and run Fixup against it. For more information:
