Hi, I came to this site because I am having a similar prob. it tells me that
two people are trying to change the same record, and there is one line in 3k+
records, datasheet that has error in every field, the system will not let me
delete this record I would just like to delete this record and move on, any
one????
You have a corrupt database. It may not be possible to delete the record
directly. Instead, create a new .mdb file; Import everything except this
table, and import this table, design view only (no data).
Then use File... Get External Data... Link to connect to the old database, and
create one or more Append queries to append all the records except this one.
Use the Primary Key as a criterion but DON'T reference the key of the damaged
record directly - i.e. if the primary key value of the damaged record is 1325,
use a criterion such as
<= 1324 OR >= 1326
Compact and repair the resulting database and manually reenter the damaged
record (or records).
