Hi,

sorry for my poor english, hope you will understand
Im working in a net form
my application is defined to repair&compression when closing
for some reason it happends that when i open the database later some of the
data is lost (spose i had 10,000 rows now i have 5,000)

i allways save a backup so in the worst case i have to update the data
untill it was lost but i find it accowrd and inconvinent

what can i do?

Typically, data is lost during a Compact & Repair when it is corrupt. I
suggest that you turn off automatic compaction, then restore from your
backup. Make several copies of the restored file and Compact and Repair the
copies, until you are satisfied that your data once again has integrity.

close at the same time and each of them trys to Compact & Repair

Split your database into a frontend (containing just the forms, reports, code)
and backend (containing the tables). Users should each have their own copy of
the frontend. Having two users sharing the same unitary database is a very
common cause of corruption!

Turn off Compact on Close on all the workstations. Compact the backend when it
doubles in size, manually, when nobody else is using it. Don't bother
compacting the frontends at all - just give the user a new copy of a
compacted, clean database.

See http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/splitapp.htm for a discussion of split
database applications.
