Snapshot report not saving

[skwilliams]

I have an unusual problem.

I have a database where a button can be clicked to save a report as a snapshot viewer file.

This database is stored on a network drive where everyone has access to it.

I had one PC which wouldn't save the snapshot files. Now another PC is having the same problem. The first one save fine until about 2 weeks ago, the other one saved until yesterday. All other PC's can save these snapshot files without problems.

The problem PC's appear to save at the time and ask it overwrite the previous file but when you open the file in snapshot viewer it's not saved.

All PC's are running Access 2000 and references are the same in the VBA section.

When they close the database, they also receive an error that says "Can't find field 'description' "

I've removed the error handling script set up by the wizard and that hasn't helped.

Any ideas???

I have found the explanation for this occurence in the internet.

This is what it said.
This is an internal error and actually has nothing to do with the database you are building;
it means Access has lost data it needs to keep track of your database.

(There is a fieldname that Access uses internally, called “Description.”)



Access’s internal “Data Definitions (tables, etc)” are stored in tables similar to the tables you build in Access,
which should contain data regarding the field names, datatypes, etc, that you have designed.



When Access runs out of disk space rebuilding itself during “Compact and Repair,”

it cannot store all of the data it needs to keep track of your data, and gives this error.



If you see the error “Can’t Find Field Description,” it really means that you have run of disk space,
and Access could not complete the rebuild operation it has started.



You may not be able to recover your database after this, so it is a good idea to work
where you won’t run out of disk space – the hard drive.
