Hi there,

We have an Access 2000 backend database resides in a network server drive while users connect to the backend tables with a mde file on their computers. All users have Access 2010 and the mde file was converted from the 2000 frontend with Access 2010.

The database have been running for a few weeks but recently users have been complaining about record lost on the backend table.We have also experienced one incident of data corruption where the main table could not be opened. After Compact & Repair, the table could be opened but a few records were showing xxxxx on all the fields and we have to delete and re-enter these records.

Does any expert out there has any clue on these problems? Would they relate to using 2010 mde converted from 2000 frontend when the backend is still in 2000? I am a little nervous about converting both the frontend and backend to 2010 since I have heard various issues on the new version.

Any comments would be much appreciated.

Sounds like you might be experiencing some corruption. I would import all those tables into a clean backend.

As for the backend in 2000, I personally like to have FE and BE in the same version BUT it does not cause any issues that I have ever heard of and never seen data loss becuase FE and BE are not in the same version.
