Unrecognized Database Error

[xtreme1]

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Occasionally we receive an &quot;Unrecognized database&quot; error message on start up of Access.&nbsp;&nbsp;This usually follows some sort of lost network connection in the form of a &quot;Disk or Network Error&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am curious to find out whether anyone has any ideas on ways to reduce the occurences of this.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is not so prevalent now, but I would like to minimize the chances of it happening as much as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for any help in advance.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; <p>xtreme1<br><a href=mailto:rbio@excite.com>rbio@excite.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Create a .MDE from your database and have your users use the .MDE not the .MDB.<br>But you need to use the database splitter to create a backend too.<br>Do this in the .MDB before you make a .MDE<br>Make sure everyone is out of the database. <br>In Access 2000 <br>click &quot;tools&quot; menu then &quot;Database utilities&quot;<br>then &quot;Database Splitter&quot; <br><br>In Access '97 <br>click &quot;tools&quot; menu then &quot;Add-Ins&quot; then &quot;Database Splitter&quot; <br><br>to make a .MDE in either 2000 or '97<br>&quot;Tools&quot; menu then &quot;Database Utilities&quot; then Make MDE<br><br>So you will have 3 databases in all...<br><br>But all of your errors will go away<br>I do all my Databases this way and all is lovely. <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.
