A copy of a small database that serves as a timesheet for each member of staff in my department did something bizarre today.
Each member of staff has a local copy of it in their personal space, and they all update a central copy when they are exited.
This morning one member of staff opened his 'timesheet' as normal only to discover that every table, query, and form has gone - the entire database was blank, as new, empty.
I don't know of anything but malicious deletion that could have caused this or maybe they replaced the file with a blank one with the same name - either way it's seems such a strange thing to do.
Does any one have any ideas how else this may have happened - some huge quirk of Access 2000 perhaps (although unlikely).
Just thought you guys would be the best to ask...
Cheers.
