Hi all
I have a database in Access 2003 (2002-2003 file format).
There is a form that updates a query table.
On certain records, updating the entry for one particular field on the form
does NOT reflect in the relevant field being updated in the query table. On
those records where this effect is observed, it happens every time however
many times I attempt to alter the field via the form.
It occurs to me that there are two possible explanations for this
undesirable behaviour:
(1) Design flaw (most likely explanation), or
(2) Data corruption
I wish to eliminate data corruption as a cause, before I spend time hunting
for a design flaw. Is there a procedure for doing this (and identifying
corrupt records)? Should I assume that the possibility of data corruption
is so vanishingly unlikely that it is not worth considering?
I have been through the Tools/Compact and Repair option already.
Thanks
