The problem here is that you may have tried running version 8 before the upgrade was complete, so the application varables have been set with null values.
Log into the admin area and go to the 'forum configuration' page, make sure all the settings are correct and re-submit the page, this will reset the application variables for your forum.

In version 7 the admin part has a different database connection to the main forum.
Version 8 doesn't have this which you should upgrade to ASAP

The error suggests that your Access database has become corrupted.
You need to download the Access database, open it in MS Access, and select 'Compact and Repair' database from the tools menu, before reuploading it back to the web server.
However, you should consider using the mySQL or SQL Server version to prevent this problem from happening again, as MS Access is not capable of handling large forums.
