Hi everyone. Using A02 on XP. Every few days, I Compact my backend database
file. This morning when it should have finished I got an error. I think
it's the same one I get now but cannot recall. But now if I try to open the
file I get an error saying the DB is in an unexpected state; MS Access can't
open it. It goes on to say it has been CONVERTED from a prior version of MS
Access by using the DAO CompactDB method instead of the Convert DB command on
the Tools menu. This has left the db in a partially converted state. If you
have a copy...use the Convert DB command (I tried and now it says I don't
have nec permissions) etc.
Systems is restoring a copy from last night for me but I wonder if anyone
can give me a clue why this happened so I can avoid it in the future. The
only thing that happened during the compact (I customized my toolbar - adding
the Compact button) this morning was my Lotus Notes calendar reminders that I
snoozed. But they have popped in before.
Thanks in advance for any advice on this issue.
