All my buttons on my forms all the sudden give me a "Error accessing file.
Network connection may have been lost" when i click them. When i try to
create new buttons the same things happens. Please tell me there is a way to
correct it??? Any Hope?!

Check your network connections first. That error message usually means that
the front-end database cannot read from or write to the back-end database on
the server.

Hi Arvin,

I am working of a usb plug-in flash ("thumb") drive on my local home
computer there is no network (other than my ISP for web service)

I've seen quite a number of people complaining that Access databases get
corrupted when you copy them to a flash drive, or try to run them from a thumb
drive. The "Connection may have been lost" message is a frequent symptom of
database corruption. I hope the original copy on the work computer is still
intact, because this one may be toast!

See Tony's corruption FAQ at

for some possible solutions.
