What are the maint. recs for an Access DB?
It seems that setting the compact on close is a good idea, but perhaps a bit
of overkill on a small DB (now only 10mb but 25-40mb est. in 2 years). Is
there added risk with the frequent compacting? Is the compact on close also a
repair or just compact?
It also seems the rec is to back-up and then compact from what I've
read....True?
I was hoping to program a form button to be a backup button for the DB, but
reading the posts I'm not sure that is a good idea or how to do it. Advice?
An ERP DB will be handed off to some senior citizens and they do not intend
to have regular techie check-ups so anything I can do to keep it running on
its own would be good. Obviously simple solutions like big buttons work best
too.
Thanks
