Strange Network thing

[barrios1]

Hello again.

A strange problem has occurred in a hotel reservation system I maintain and which is based on Access.

The office has recently been moved and and the network was re-jigged.

A certain form, which queries a number of tables to give booking informatrion (guest name, room, dates etc) has stopped responding. When you try to access the form the application freezes and they have been using ctrl+alt+delete to stop the program running. When they re-try later they get 'You cancelled the previous operation' message box and nothing else!

The weird thing is, one machine in the office (not ther server where the database is stored) is working perfectly!

As usual, any help would be greatly appreciated nad thanks for all the help I have recieved from this great forum already!!

Go néirí on bothar libh!!!

Jeno:

Can you provide some more specifics as to the db setup. Front end , back end? Where is it located on the network? Sounds as though you could replace the copy on the non-working pc and hopefully get back up and running.

I got the problem sorted by simply re-mapping all short cuts on the client machines to the database so I won't bore you with how the application is set up.

Thanks for your reply Autoeng!!
