just read Just read through other peoples stories that had this similiar problem, though im a little confused on how i go about it. If im to import all the data to a new database. how do i go about it. remembering that the lastest database is still running and i cant lose the data. Do i have...

temp fix I can only get it working again when i do a compact and repair. But i dont understand what it is that is meant to be repaired or fixed!!!! The same problem happens every couple of hours. Thanks

Hi guys, i am currently running a live database at the moment, but there is something weird happening. Every few hours or so, it locks people out of the shared database saying that the file is not a database file and/or its corruopted. The database is a FE/BE situation shared amongst 12...

hmmm Hmmm well it was PK until i split it for FE/BE but now it looks though the autonumber has no PK. Darren

Yes it is a FE / BE situation, as it was advise given to me earlier when i was about to share the DB. The autonumbering logic system is not really a big deal, and i understand why there could be gaps. However the duplication of another record is a cause for concern. Thank you very much for...

attachement sorry! Ive done a compact too... Since filesize was too big

subform explained? Hi IIkhoutx, Sorry for being vague, i know its difficult to help someone when you dont have the DB infront of you or understand them. I attached an earlier version of the DB. Basically if you open up Detail all i want the end user to do is fill out the fields on Tab1, tab...

Hmmm Hi there. Thanks for your reply. Im not quite sure what you are saying regarding the form. Let me try and explain a little more. Im using a main form, within this form there is a tab control facility, each of these tabs hosts a subform. When i independently open up the subform tab, the...

Ok, i must have a broken version of Access or im just crap, but ive been having a problem with the data in forms. basically when im adding names of people with either the same first name or last name, the database just links this to another person so for example id :1 John Smith id :2 John...

thanks Thanks Jack, Yes this is a good alternative to the idea i had in mind. Cheers Darren

Thanks Ok great, thank you both so much for your support. I apologise if this was revisiting old posts but i didnt quite understand the Front and Back idea. Looking through old posts now, thanks again. Regards Darren
