Hi everybody, I have the following problem:
When I try to upload an .mdb file, the uploading stops after a while.I first
Used windows FTP Service. I changed to SERV-U FTP program but I still have
the same problem. I can't upload databases. Most of the databases had forms,
so I deleted the forms and I tried to upload the file again. This time the
upload was succesful, so I figured out the problem was caused by the forms.
So I continue to work without using the forms. Everything seemed to work fine
for a little while but now the problem reappeared again with databases that
doesn't have any forms.

Does anyone knows why is that?

Thank you very much
 
Can't be sure without more information but it seems like it could b
the file size

Try doing a 'Compact and Repair' on the database to reduce the size
bit and then see if you can upload it

I would look elsewhere for the problem. FTP (either Windows or SERV-U)
neither knows nor cares anything about the *contents* of the files
that they're transferring; the file could be a database, a Word file,
a .jpg image or anything, and the program should transfer it just as a
string of bits.

I would suggest using Tools... Database Utilities... Compact to
compact the (full, with forms) database, if you haven't done so
already; use WinZIP to compress it (so you have a smaller file to
transmit), and trying again with either of the FTP programs. I cannot
imagine other than that the FTP failure is unrelated to the Forms or
other contents of your database!
