compact and repair backend on server from client machine

P

I am not sure if this can be solved via Access or network but until recently
I could compact and repair a data backend file on the server opening it from
a network computer. Since recently ( amicrosoft patch?) , there are issues
(file is compacted and repaired as db1.mdb but does not overwrite the
existing whatevername.mdb file anymore) Can this be solved by changing
settings in Access or on the server?

Have you checked the attibutes / control lists of the mdf file.

The most common reason for this type of error is the file being read only or
any other more obscure permission setting of the file or folder structure.
(should be a network config issue).
