See the Corrupt Records in a Microsoft Access MDB page at my website

yet another MDB corruption?

time to move to Access Data Projects; I've never had data corruption
in a real database

MDB has been obsolete for a decade; these chipmunks around here will
try to blame it on the network

ADP works across WAN, VPN, LAN, Wireless or the god damn public
internet

Phoenix, you can see your database. You know what steps you're taking and what
error message you see.

We cannot see these things.

Give us a little help here? What are you trying to delete? How are you trying
to delete it - from a table datasheet, with a Delete query, or what?

if your database is subject to corruption then u need a new database

I haven't had a corruption in a decade
and I haven't had to run linked table manager

I haven't had to use SQL passthrough

I choose Access Data Projects instead of your silly MDB crap
