database doesn't want to re-open

[KCA]

Hi again,

I'm up to the next problem... strange one this time : I'm the onl y user of my database, have no security settings active and have not touched record locking as far as I know. Only thing is me and a colleague often transfer updates of the DB via IR between our laptops (we are both working on the design of it and whenever someone has updated it, we transfer the complete DB).

Now, when I exit the database and want to re-enter it, it doesn't open and the ldb file shows... I checked a few things, when my database is open the ldb file is created, when I exit the file disappears but when going into my task manager I still see MSACCESS in the processes. It's only when I delete this process that I can re-enter my DB.

Does anyone have a clue what is going on here ??

Thanks, Koen

It's not a problem with your database. Basically Access is still running in the background when you close it, just not showing up as a window. I would try repairing your installation of office and if that fails, do a reinstall.

I was already afraid it was an office problem. Strange thing though is that on both our laptops this only happens with this specific DB, all the other DB's behave as should be...

I'll try the reinstall, thanks.
