I recently overcame mde build problems that I had been encountering (separate post) by realising that the Access 97 db in question had inappropriate references in it (namely Microsoft DAO 2.5/3.5 Compatibility Library and UTILITY.MDA instead of Microsoft DAO 3.51 Object Library). This I...

I have a strange situation with an access 97 database. When building an mde file, it will sometimes give an error, and sometimes not. The error is 'Can't open database (blah). It may not be a database that your application recognises, or the file may be corrupt.' I have been chasing this one...

I posted this problem some months ago and attracted no replies, so I've tried to explain it better: I distribute sizeable applications in the form of Access 97 .mde files. The problem relates to combo boxes where the bound item is a numeric item queried from a table. Typing a value into the...

Can't communicate with the OLE server I am completely frustrated by a problem which may be really simple for someone well versed in OLE. I have distributed databases in Access 97 which have forms which contain static images. These graphics were processed via Word and inserted as embedded...

I have a fairly large (26Mb) frontend developed in Access 97 which I have been distributing through many versions over the past 4 years. Suddenly it is giving an error at the mde build stage which I would only expect as a runtime error - 'Can't open any more tables'. Curiously, previous...

I am experiencing inexplicable 'Out of memory' errors from an Access 97 mde front end on a peer-to-peer network. The backend is located on a user PC, and only the networked front ends give the error. The PCs concerned are running WIN98 SE, and have 256Mb RAM. The error does not seem to be...

I have users who frequently open multiple iterations of the same application on one workstation. Does anyone know a way of detecting if a particular db is open already? Thanks keith

I distribute sizeable applications in the form of Access 97 .mde files. I am completely perplexed that combo boxes linked to numeric fields in queries behave differently on different PCs. Direct typing of the required value and Auto Expand will work on one system, and not at all on another...
