Compile of hidden files error

[CNCAsset]

When trying to open an Access database on the server, an error message appears - "Compile of hidden files error", followed then by a run-time error. There is no problem accessing the the server and opening the database from another PC? Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this. Backups to CD have started failing at the same time.

You should try to compile the application, i.e. go into any module then Debug->Compile and see if any errors show up

Compile error of hidden module

Thanks for your reply, but I do not know how to go into any module then Debug->Compile as you suggested. I know how to create databases, tables, reports, forms etc, but not how to compile modules, could you clarify please.

Many thanks

Open the database ( start it up ) ...go into any module ( view the code ), of either a module, a form, a report, etc... then from the Toolbar ( top of the screen ) select Debug and select the Compile item.
