Help With Access Errors And Corrupt Files
Apr 2, 2008
Hello everyone. I will admit I am a novice when it comes to access. But I do have some programming background in Lotus Notes. Now maybe its just me but Access seems to error out ALOT and I keep getting messages like:
-File is not a databse
-A user unexpectedly shut down access
-Some c++ runtime errors
I just dont understand what I am doing wrong. I am saving my work like I would do in anyother program. But at least once a day I have to resort to a backup copy because I keep getting errors like the ones above.
I have created an access 2000 DB and it did the same thing about 2 weeks ago...been doing it at least once a day if not more. I have created new db's and still the same thing. I have even converted it to 2003 and still problems.
For example I created a report and was told I didnt have permission to access the report??....WTF..I am the only user in the db as its in development...I created the db..if I dont have permission WHO does. So I tried to add myself in permissions.....then that when I got the c++ error.
I have been working in Notes DBs for the past 6 years and I have to tell you access doesnt have ANYTHING on notes. I have never had such stupid error out of the blue in any program I have used...I mean just closing the DB is causing an error on some days...
I am so frustrated with this its beyond belief..I have a real hard time turning this crap over to my users when I DONT trust it will be running next week...UGH
Some guidance will be most appreciated as I am about to just drop the project and start from scratch in something else.

Since we have installed the latest Windows critical security updates, upon closing an Access database, the database gets corrupted. Error code is c000020c.

Hi,
I did a search on common access errors and other errors that you would want to trap and got the following results:
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only
Operation must use an updateable query
General error Unable to open registry key
Could not find file
Could not use '(unknown)'; file already in use
Table 'tblTable' is exclusively locked by user 'Admin' on machine 'MyMachine'
Too few parameters. Expected 1
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted
Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal
The search key was not found in any record
If you know any extra errors, can you please add them to this list?
Regards,
B

I have recently done a fresh install of access 97 to our 2003 server. I load up an access app, it brings up a form with a button...I clidk the button, and it closes the app with no errors, and leaves the ldb file in tact. Checking the event viewer, I get this message:
Faulting application msaccess.exe, version 8.0.0.5903, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00202878.
It appears to be on the buttons that open forms / reports, but not those that run queries. Any ideas?

My office computer, along with the phone system, printers etc took a lightening strike last week. The hard drive survived but not the computer. I was able to get the office access db onto a new system but now I get errors when running it. When opened, the main menu appears. Whoopee!Not so fast. When I select an item, I get "the expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following Automation error. The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure]There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro"
Pressing the button a second time does not produce the error and opens the correct form.This form works properly. The second problem is with a second report form that opens properly.This form expects dates and accepts them but when I try to print the report, access closes with no error message.

Private Sub quicksearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[ID number] = " & Str(Me![quicksearch])
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
this is the code that im using to help me with a listbox and a search text box that is embedded on my main form. it works ok. The problem is, i was trying to link an already filled out Table with data to this interface.
When i key in information from the form it works, but when i just enter stuff through the table (which was already completed and handed to me) When I click in the listbox on the main form the code window just pops up showing this section of my code. Help./
Help.

I'm not sure if this is an Access problem or an ASP problem or even an IIS problem, but I have to start somewhere, so here I am. Ok, this is the deal. I've got an Access database that I'm using to store login/password info (just a training thing, I'm new to ASP) and I've successfully created a login form and an ASP page that determines if the username/password combo is correct. If the info is legit, it forwards the user to a success page. If the name is good, but the password is bad it tells them so and makes them try to log in again. If the user name doesn't show up in the database it says they must register and forwards them to a registration page. All is fine and dandy in my li'l ASP world. Except for one small problem... When testing my few pages I keep getting an "Unspecified Error" that always points to this line of code:
adoCon.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("login.mdb")
Far as I can tell, what's happening is that every time I access the database, I must wait a small amount of time (seems to be about 30 seconds) before I can do anything with it again, or I get this error.
Let me clarify,
When testing, I would go to the login page, type a correct user/pass combination and then I get forwarded to the success page. Cool. I go back to the login page and try it with a correct username, but an invalid password.... oops, I get this error. If I wait about 30 seconds, I can go back to the login page and try again and everything is fine. The order I test in doesn't matter...
Correct Combo -> invalid password
invalid pass -> non existant user
correct combo -> correct combo
etc...
Doesn't matter. Once I access the database via .Open it seems that I can't do it again for a while. Why is this? I use a .Close on my record set and then I set the recordset and connection objects to Nothing *BEFORE* each and every page redirect.
What gives?
Thanks,
~Darxide

I'm having trouble opening up the tools I am developing in Access for multiple users. I split all my databases so the users will only interface with the "Front End" and I just tried saving one as an ACCDE file. I had the ACCDE file open on my machine and asked another person in the office to try opening it (all our files are stored on a network drive, which is already identified as a trusted source).
She got the following error message:
"The database cannot be opened because the VBA project contained in it cannot be read. The database can be opened only if the VBA project is first deleted. Deleting the VBA project removes all code from modules, forms, and reports. You should back up your database before attempting to open the database and delete the VBA project"
How do I fix this? I don't want to publish several Front End Access files since each person in my office will ask me to customize their file and my supervisor wants everyone working off the same file. I thought the point of Access was that multiple users could open the same file and make data modifications. How do I achieve this while retaining all the fun, creative VBA solutions I have developed?

I've developed a working query to grab some information from my Oracle 9i database using SQL Developer. I have a tool in MS Access 2003 that I'm developing for other users so they can input some options through the GUI and query the same data that I do.
I'm trying to translate the query I developed in Oracle and have it work in Access. I have my ODBC connection set up so that Access can get to the same tables.
Here is my Oracle Query:
[QUERY]...
The error I'm receiving is: Run-time error '3296'
Join expression not support.
I believe the error has something to do with the "LEFT JOIN CPCF ... " but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. The query will run in Access if I change that to an "INNER JOIN CPCF ...." but the result set is not what I need it to be. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

I am writing a small database using MS Access 2007. I have in it a function for running queries and printing reports. Printing works just fine if any one of the multiple query criteria is give.
I also want to trap errors and present a message if the user clicks the "Print" button without a query criteria. At the moment I only get a run-time syntax error message which has a "debug" button for accessing the entire code. I want a message that will say "There was no search criteria".
This is the code for printing:
Code:
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Dim varWhere As Variant
varWhere = BuildFilter
' Update the record source
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM q_Vehicles " & varWhere
[code]....

I have been consistently getting an error almost every month when I try to load some data that has been input into access, then I have it linked to an excel sheet so that whenever I refresh, the access data imports into excel and updates my pivots, charts, etc.
When my data entry ppl enter data, sometime they forget to enter a code, or something, and when they forget to enter that, it creates some kind of error in the query. The query still runs in access, but shows something similar to " #ERROR#" in the field IF I ever do find it in the access query. The issue is that I cant filter to find that error. I literally have to scan and scroll through thousands of lines of data to try and find this error. When I try to refresh the data in excel, the following error message pops up;
"Data could not be retrieved from the database. Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make Sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again."
In past months I can usually find the #ERROR# by scrolling through access and finding it. Some months I have EXTREME trouble finding the error. It can take hours out of my work day. Is there any way to more easily identify which line these errors are in rather than scrolling through thousands of lines of data? Is there a way to still export the data to excel with the errors still in them?

Hi:
The company I am consulting with uses Access 2000 and has no intentions of upgrading. I currently do not own Access on my laptop.
I was planning to purchase Access 2003 for my laptop but am concerned that files I create in 2003 might not be "editable" in 2000 even if I choose the 2000 format when creating new databases.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried creating a file in 2003 (using the 2000 format - as I'm told you can choose what format you want to use) and then edited it in 2000. I want my client to be able to edit the files in 2000 once I've moved on. (I can get 2003 for about the same price as 2000 - so my preference would be to get 2003.) The other obvious reason for going for 2003 is that I could run into the reverse challenge if I own 2000 and my next client uses 2003. At that point, I'd be forced to upgrade to 2003.
My databases are not complex - but do include some customized macros.
Any help, comments... appreciated.
Thx,
dave

Hi, I have a networked DB and I can't update the FE because the LDB file is locked. It says there are about 8 users in the DB which I know isn't true (I keep a table of current users and I prevented any new people from logging on before I went home last night)
I've never had this happen before? Does anyone know how I can fix it and kill the connections/Delete the .ldb?
I'm sure I caused the problem cause I've just put a few weeks development into the live system but i'm not sure why. I know if I have left recordsets open this can keep the connection but are there other reasons why this may be happening?
Thanks, Tom

Hi,
I have a question.
I know that mdb file maybe corrupt sometimes, but I want to know what conditions will make it corrupt?
And also, if we create adp file as frontend, and SQL Server as backend, can we mimimize the corrupt condition?
Please let me know about it, thanks.
Because I don't want to happen corrupt.
Thanks.

I'm getting the following message when trying to open a database and the db will not open:
Record(s) cannot be read; no permission on 'MSysAccessObjects'
All other databases on the network open fine. I can't run compact repair on the said db nor can I link to it.
Any pointers would be good.

My client is reporting corrupt characters cropping up in fields. These characters appear as Asian Characters. They only corrupt one record.
This happens very seldom. In fact, it hasn't happend for about 2 months and today it happend again. Their was no change to the database.
Is this a network problem? Network noise corrupting data?
Thanks

Hi there,
I have recently converted an Access 97 database to Access 2003 and have noticed some records have been replaced with oriental symbols. I've noticed about 2 new corrupt records a month since it was converted. Does anyone know why this is happening and if the corrupt records can be recovered?
Thanks

I have a database with backend tables. I came back to work today and somehow the main table in the backend has been corrupted. I tried to repair the table in the Backend and I get the following error Could not find field 'Description'..
Now when I try and open the Backend I get this error. The database 's:SOE_CONTROLSoeControlDatabaseBackendew_1-8T_SOE_DATABASE_be.mdb' needs to be repaired or isn't a database file.
You or another user may have unexpectedly quit Microsoft Access while a Microsoft Access database was open. Do you want Microsfot Access to attempt to repair the database?
When I click yes I also get [B]Could not find field 'Description'.[/]
Each time I have done this another DB1 or DB2 or DB3 or DB4 table has been created. When I look in the tables I can see that somehow there is a deleted record and it will not let me delete that record. I delete it and then open the table again and the same deleted record is still there.
I hope this is making sense because I sure need help!!
Thanks!

Hi all:
Would appreciate any help that anyone can offer. Have a client with an Access2K database that gives the dreaded "...No read permissions on table MSysObjects..." error. I'm trying to just get the data into a new clean mdb but Access blocks me at every turn.
Have tried compact & Repair
Have tried JetComp
Have tried TransferDatabase via code
No luck, can't get at the data.
Now here's the kicker, the database is the back end to a VB6 application. The application continues to run fine and is happily accessing and updating the database. Any suggestions about alternate ways to get the data into a new clean mdb would be much appreciated.
TIA
John

Hello All,
Let me start by saying that I do not claim to be an expert database developer. I own a small company. I'm good with Access, but from time to time, it gets the best of me.
I've been reading alot of the posts so please forgive me if this topic has been covered. I couldn't find a thread to help me with my problem.
I have a table called 'projects'. This table has an autonumber field (you know where this is going, huh?) that serves as the primary key for the table. I realize that this is a big no-no now. Please go easy on me... :-)
I have a form, also called 'projects'. This form has a comboBox that uses fields from the 'projects' table as its rowSource. The user (myself) selects a record from the comboBox and the afterUpdate finds the record in the table and bookmarks it. The corresponding fields on the form update. We all know the drill.
I'm calling any record entered prior to today, an 'old' record...
... anything from today is a 'new' record.
So now I can still pull up 'old' records, but not 'new' records. Even if I close the form and try to add it directly into the table, it's like access doesn't recognize it. It'll let me enter it, but I cannot pull it up via the comboBox.
My first instinct was to just copy the table (structure & data) into a new one and see if the problem goes away. Two things... the problem does not go away and it renumbers my primaray key and so even if the problem did go away it would give all of the related records in other tables new parents, leaving a few orphans. so much for no child left behind...
anyway, i tried copying the structure only into a new table. I manually added a record. I was able to pull it up using the form. I copied the 'old' records from the old table to the new table. I can pull up those... but now I can't pull up the record I entered manually. I imagine that I copied the corruption into the new table.
It's almost like that the table is corrupt in that it will not index new records properly. I'm not referring to my own indexing, I'm referring to something that I suspect microsoft has on the backside.
Can anybody help me?... :-)

Hello
I have a table within my large database application (one of the main tables) and some of the records keep doing strange things, characters such as: '佀渀攀 䌀愀氀氀 㐀 䌀愀爀 䌀愀' keep appearing and it splits the fields and mixes them all up. I presume they are corrupt records. Without having to create a new table and importing all the data in to a new table (there is a lot of data and this application is used throughout the normal working day - all day) is there any easy way out? Has anyone else had this problem? Is it something I have done which has caused this or is it a problem with Access?
Many thanks

Hi all
I have a corrupt MS access 2000 database. It was saved to a flash stick with a compact and repair on close. It seems the flash stick was removed before the compact had completed. Has anyone got any tools that can recover the database? Or maybe point me to some freeware on the net that can recover it?? I appreciate any help.

I have an application which I have split into a database mdb file with the data, and another mdb file with the front end (all the forms, reports, etc). The database file is OK. However, the front end file has some kind of curruption. Running a C/R (Compact and repair) runs clean. The forms and the reports all work OK. But I found a bug in one of the forms, and upon trying to correct it by changing a variable type in the code behind the form, MS Access crashes. I can modify other forms, reports, and modules, but there are about 5 forms (out of about 60) that cause Access to crash.
I have also tried creating a brand new mdb file and copying all the forms, reports, etc out of the corrupted one, but apparently the corruption travels with the forms, because as soon as I copy the forms that make Access crash with the old mdb file, it now crashes with the new mdb file.
Does anybody know of a way to clean something like this, or to export the form and its code so that it can be imported again into anothe mdb? Or maybe someone knows of some program to find and fix these corruption problems in an mdb file?
Anything will be welcome. At this point it is quite a large application and I really don't want to redo it.
