Canceled Previous Operation? WHAT??

[racemadnss]

My Database has gone Psyco!

I was working on a form and then all of a sudden I get this popup message

"You Canceled Previous Operation"

It pops up anytime I click on anything now,

And Noo it doesnt just pop up once it pops up about 5 times evertime I click anything.

So I closed out, and re-Opened and now I cant open the form at all (normal, or Designview)

What did I do?

Ok....seems like everytime it tries to autosave the database it gives me that popup, is there a way to repair the database? Ive got over 2 months of time into this database, there is no way im going to start over.

OK, Luckily I had a backup from friday . I love habbits.

I pretty much narrowed the problem down to 1 form so I deleted it and then Imported the backup form, so far everything seems to work.

Oh and I compacted and repaired the database. and the database went from 24 mb down to only 1.2 mb, how can it do that?

That's why it is best to store all your queries as permanent querydefs.

Hi Pat.

Could you explain the above statement a little further and how to go about this.

Thanks Pat. That is a little clearer.
