FrontEnd crashes after deleting a field in BackEnd

[Guest]

fter deleting a field in my BackEnd mdb, my FrontEnd crashes on the next
start up. Is that a bug ?

I think the Front-End does store some details about the structure of the
Linked Tables from the Back-End. Thus, if you change the Table structure in
the Back-End, in general, you need to refresh the links so that the
Front-End picks up the new Table structure.

Use the Menu Tools /Database Utilities / Link Table Manager to refresh the
linked Tables.

The database may have some start-up settings that try to use the Table as
soon as it is opened.

Try holding the Shift key down while you are opening the database to bypass
the Start-up options (if possible).

Unfortunatele, there may be other causes also, e.g. corruptions.

Compact the FE. This normally fixes any problems that arise after
you compact the BE after you make a table change in the BE.

Then hold the shift key down, open the database, delete all the links,
and create new links. It is probably not required after compacting,
but you seem to have an unusually severe problem, and you need
to be more than usually careful.
