My access application sometimes creates backup files, like Backup Of + original file name. It looks like it happens when some error occures.
It is Access 2003 mdb file. It contains a lot of vba codes. All subs and funcyions have error handlers and Error Trapping is set to Break on unhandled errors. In Startup all checkboxes are unchecked.
Question: is there the way to turn off these unsolicited unplanned backups?
Thanks
Val
 
I'm unsure what's going on there but that can occur when someone is making some changes and Access goes unresponsive and then crashes. It will create a backup file and re-open your db. So it must be that there's someone making changes to your db (i.e. design changes not data changes) and it's crashing at some point.

By the way, I'm sure you asked this question on another thread, so why create a new one?
 
So ... it looks like there is no option in Access that can turn off these backups?
And as to this thread -I first created this thread, noone responded, so I asked you to take a look on it. I thought that they are to different questions ...
Thank you
 
Not that I know of. You can run some code to delete any file that begins with Backup.
