Prompts can happen with forms, reports and queries if a field is being referenced and is missing, but I've never seen that happen with a table.
If you are prompted when opening a table my only guess is that you have a data macro that is looking for a field that isn't there, or maybe a field has a look-up. Open the table in design view, select a field and take a look at the Lookup tab below. If the
type is not a Text Box, it has a lookup field in a related table.
