Emergancy help please

[Mansoor Ahmad]

Dear All

It is really emergency. I have just arrrived in office and found that database is not working.

Whenever I try to open a form or report it says 'Invalid argument (error 3001).

Can somebody help me out of it. Thanks

Try importing all tables, forms etc into a new db

Thank you

Thank you very much for your very quick reply.

But thanks God it is been sorted. I went to tools-database utilities-compact and repair database and it worked.

I was so worried. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

How to avoid such incident in future

Now as the problem is sorted I was thinking how could this have happened.

I remember yesterday when I closed it down it prompted that some other user has made some changes do you want to override the changed or cancel or there was another option and I clicked on override changes and closed it.

I took it as that I had opened the same database on two machines using same ID and I was adding data only on one PC. The message prompted on the PC while closing, which was not being used.

Could this have something to do with it? Can somebody suggest anything to avoid any such incident to happen in future?

Thank you.
