Disk Or Network Error

[TJBernard]

I have a large database that was created in MS Access 1997. When I tried to open the database with MS Access 2000, it said I could not make changes to the database because it was created in an earlier version, which is fine. Then I got an error that said "Disk Or Network Error", if I click "OK" the database still opens just fine.

I went a head and converted the MS Access DB to 2000 and everything appeared to work just fine. The tables all show the data, and I am able to add, update and delete records. But when I open up the database in MS Access 2000 I still get the error "Disk Or Network Error". When I click "OK" again the database works just fine.

The error appears to be due to some "Start-Up" properties, but the Start-up is set to the standard show database window, and I did not find any code in the database that was set-up to change the "Start-Up" properties.

Has anyone seen this before, or has anyone found a cause for the Disk or Network error?

Thank you,

T.J.

Have you attempted the COMPACT AND REPAIR optin under DATABASE UTILITIES?

Make a backup of your mdb and then try this on it.

Thank you for your time,

I am sorry I didn't explain that in the original post I have compacted and repaired the database a few times. After each compact and repair the error appears again (once it tries to open itself back up).

Do you have both Access 97 & 2K installed on your PC?
I had a similar problem when I had both Access 2K and Access XP installed. In the end I removed Access XP and everything worked fine.

I only have MS Office (MS Access) 2000 installed on my machine. I will keep looking to see if I come across anything else, and if I do I will let the message board know.

Thank you,
