When Quitting Access97 format file in AccessXP corrupts database

[maudedo]

environment.
an access 97 format database running in AccessXP on a peer to peer network. When users click on the Cross to close access, as opposed to the Close combo box corrupts their database. Ran compile and no errors. Checked systems files and there are two MSysModule tables, but cannot delete, not sure if this is related.

I have ran the same test on my laptop, the only difference is it is standalone, and have not been able to replicate the problem, is it a server pack problem, the network or something else??? anyone with any ideas? Users said run other access programmes and no problem???

many thanks
Donna

I have never been a big fan of using Access XP / 2002 to run as Access 97.

Yep, there are a migration concerns. Access seems to becoming an essential tool in business but migrating / upgrading is not the same as with the other Office products.

You may want to consider upgrading sooner than later.

Apply Office packages. There is one service pack. Link ot the automatic updates...
