Problem While Compacting Database
Feb 27, 2006Dear Friends
I have a .mdb password protected with all types of objects (tables, queries, forms, reports, codes, functions, modules, etc) they too are password protected in VB, the .mdb works fine but when I tried to repair and compact the database from the menu tools option, very recently it started giving me the message of database has been corrupted and requires tobe backedup before proceeding with the repair options and the log report of this corrupted .mdb file is to be sent to microsoft for the review.
In short i am not able to compact the Database though it works fine - but the moment I try to compact it gives me this problem - I am worried and concerned as its looks good but what happening in the background can anyone in here sugguest the remedy or the precautionary measures.
This file is on the network shared by min 2 person at the same time.
Please advice - thanks
Compacting And Repairing A Different Database Using Code
Dec 6, 2007Hello
I am aware that there are a lot of existing threads relating to compacting and repairing but I cant seem to find what I am looking for.
Basically, I developed a complaints database for my employers and it is used by around 45 people at any one time. The database was one of firt I built so it is not the best and is serious bloatware. Our server management team gave me an ear bashing the other day because the BE was 145MB. I did a compact and repair which took it to 45MB. The problem is that I need to do this daily but it involves kicking everyone out of their linked FE so the BE can be compacted/repaired. As an interim measure before I rebuild the whole thing I am going to schedule a database to open that will compact and repair the Complaints Database BE. Can anyone tell me the code to use to compact another database other than the one I am using. I have been looking at the code in other posts but I cant get it to work. The code I was looking at is the DBEngine.CompactDatabase... but I dont understand what comes after this and why??
Thanks people. :-)
Compacting Database 'breaks' SQL Code
Sep 22, 2005I had someone write some code to access an Access database. The code works with the database as is, however if I choose to compact & repair the database to minimize its size, the code no longer works. What could be different about the database once it's been minimized using the database utilities?
Thanks,
Rick
P.S. Does compacting the database make it more responsive to users on the web that query the database, or doesn't it much matter?
Database Crashes
Nov 10, 2006I have an Access 2003 database on a server at work. The server's operating system is NT4 SP 6A. We typically have about 5 to 7 people at one time accessing the database. Records are not locked. We recently hired a temp to enter information into the database. The database crashed and has been crashing ever since. It has become a big hassle because a couple other databases use this database as well for information. The database was developed on a XP system. The computers that crashed are running Windows 2000 Version 5.0 Build 2195 SP3. The database files size is under 5Megs. Any suggestions on where to start? Also, I thought I came across some piece of information that said the max. database size is 3Gigs. Is this true? Steve

Help! Database Doesnt Open And Comes Up With Error Message About Compacting And DAO!
Jan 23, 2008hi,
the following error message appears when trying to access my database. I can't seem to get into it at all, not even by trying to import the data tables over into a new database. the following message appears:
"The database has been converted from a prior version of Microsoft Access by using the DAO Compact Database method instead of Convert Database Command on the Tools Menu. This has left the database in a partially converted state. If you have a copy of the original format use the convert Database on the Tools menu to convert it. If the original database is no longer available, create a new database and import your tables and queries to preserve your data. Your other database applications can't be recorded''..
the copy and the back up wont let me in either, this just suddenly happened.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
Modules & VBA :: Auto-Number Sequencing By Compacting The Database
May 30, 2014Lets say you have a table with an AutoNumber field.You populate it with 100 records.You delete the last 10 records (91-100)Now, I certainly know you can refresh the AutoNumber sequencing by compacting the database so the next record entered is 91.
My question is about NOT refreshing the AutoNumber sequencing.Lets say you DO NOT COMPACT and DO NOT refresh the AutoNumber Sequence.So, in that scenario, after deleting records 91-100 from the table, is there any programmatic way to determine that the next actual AutoNumber for that table will be 101?
General :: Forcefully Closing Backend Database Before Compacting
Oct 8, 2012I have a Ms Access split database where in the backend database grows up very fast and needs to be compressed everyday. I have written a batch script to compact the same and have scheduled it to be run every night. But the script is unable to compress the backend every time since the users tend to leave the application open at the end of the day. Ideally i am looking for a command line script to forcefully close the back end database if open before attempting to compact it.
I searched on web but could not find a command line script for forcefully closing the back end database.
Access Crashes When I Open A Second Database
Jun 8, 2007If I already have an Access database open (sometimes I've forgotten about it), when I try to open another one from my desktop, it maximizes the first Access window, and then my computer freezes--I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and close both of them through Task Manager to continue.
I have never seen this happen on anyone else's computer. Does anyone know what is causing the problem? It is not any one database; the problem occurs no matter which are opened.
Thanks in advance.
Database Crashes After Table Update
Sep 8, 2011My 886 Mb access database crashes at any time I use the form I use to navigate it as the main menu. This just happened after I updated one of the tables.However, I've had this issue of not being able to compact and repair this database for a long time. This database is on one of our network drives. I tried to copy to my hard drive and it also hang up!

Compacting
Apr 4, 2007I'm just about done with my database and will be putting it on the user's computer shortly. How often, generally, should we compact and repair the DB? Is this something I should set as an event everytime the file is closed? Is there any disadvantage to doing it too often?

Nov 8, 2005I have a database that will not compact (using 97) the error message I get is the microsoft jet engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the data at the same time.
I copied this database on my desk top, and absolutely no one is using it.
I can 'repair" it, but not compact it.
Problems Compacting
May 9, 2007Hi, I have a problem compacting a database. i used to do this all the time at my old job, yet here at my new company, all I get is the usual blank Access screen, the sandtimer mouse icon, and if I select any other program in Windows and the switch back to Access, it crashes "MS Access (not responding)
Any ideas what might be happening here.
Compacting Problem
Oct 1, 2007I appear to be having problems with the Compact/Repair feature of MS Access. When I compact/repair an .mdb file, even if it is empty (no tables, no queries, no forms, etc) access will make a db1.mdb file, but not follow up with the rename. I have had no troubles with a large multiuser database for the last 5 years and just recently noticed the db1.mdb, db2.mdb, etc appearing.
Any idea on what is causing the rename to fail?
Thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedClose Button Without Compacting
Nov 10, 2006The database that I currently work with has the option chosen to compact and repair on close so that if I am not present when there is trouble the users can close the db and the problem is usually corrected. I currently have a close button on the Main switchboard that closes the db. Is there a way to make a button or another way that will close the db that will by pass the compact and repair choice? I know that I can use task manager, but that usually creates db1, db2 and so on.
Thanks,

Error In Automatic Counter After Compacting
Jan 9, 2006After compacting my Access2000 database it usually is impossible to add new records. The automatic counter does not continue with a new value but seems to have "forgotten" some of the recently added records and tries to use a value that is already allocated. After pressing <ESC> the next value is applied and so - after adding and escaping the appropriate times - it finally reaches a valid new value and the record is accepted. Ugly workaround. Any known solution?
View 2 Replies View RelatedTables :: Compacting Remove Indices?
May 19, 2014We have a split access2010 application in which the BE is 1.6Gb compacted. It reached 1.8Gb recently, then I compacted it and it returned to 1.6Gb-ish, but some of the FE functionality then virtually ceased to run. Some (very stressful) hours later I discovered that some of the table indices were missing, and when I re-added them the FE functionality returned to normal.
Is it a known thing that compacting can have that effect? Obviously I can see the logic of removing indices to free up space, but with such potentially significant performance consequences I'm amazed that compacting doesn't include an explicit warning about the possibility.
Compacting And File System Security Problems
Jan 8, 2006Hi
I've done every search I could think of, but haven't come up with a solution.
I'm having a problem with file system security settings of windows 2000.
I have a FE/BE database setup, the BE is stored on a network drive that all users have access to. The FE is stored in the same spot on every workstation (C:dataXXXXXX.mdb). The FEs demonstrate considerable bloat and I understand that the solution is frequent Compact and Repairs.
However, each physical workstation is used by more than one user (different shifts) and the compact process removes the Everyone file system access from the database and replaces it with Administrators, and the current user; thereby preventing anyone other than the compacting individual from accessing the FE on that computer.
Is there a solution??
thanks

On certain machines when the user clicks a button the click command performs an openreport event procedure in print preview. Access then crashes saying it encountered errors and will close. When I change the click command to open the report by a moacro the report opens fine.

Access Crashes
Aug 9, 2006Problem: Access crashes during data input in a certain form. – Not always on the same field, and not always on the first record. Sometimes I can input 2 or 3 records and it crashes on the 4th. The "modul" that the crash shows is always the msjtes40.dll
Action taken so far:
1.Checked the version of the msjtes40.dll – it’s the latest
2.reregistered the msjtes40.dll
3.Created a new DB imported everything
4.Repaired the Db
5.decompiled and compiled all the code (which I have been through with a fine comb - there is no complidated VBA on the form at all.)
6.recreated the form entirely
7.Checked the Source of the form for any funny records
8.reinstalled the entire Office XP Professional
I really don’t know what else I can do!
