Re: Compact & Repair

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Each user must have his/her own copy of the mdb file; otherwise, difference
in versions of Windows on each console will corrupt the database. You could
also try to disable the Op-Lock on the server:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296264

but the real solution is for each user to have his own copy. Finally, you
should also ask this kind of question in a newsgroup about linked tables
such as m.p.access.odbcclientsvr .

so oftoenWe run an Access 2003 database. Some of the tables are linked to
a
SQL Server 2000 database located on the same server that the .mdb file
resides. We have always had issues where, during the day, when someone
would
get a message saying that the database needs to be repaired. Thus we
would
get everybody out, compant & repair, and then they would be ok until the
next
time this happened. We recently migrated to a new server (2003.) It
seems
as though this is now happening more frequently. The .mdb is only 101 MB,
however we have between 20 and 30 users running in the system at any given
point during the day. Is there anything I can do to prevent having to
'compact & repair'? Any ideas appreciated. I
