We have a Access97 that converted to Access XP.
For the first time in 4 years we get constant record corruptions that
leaad to DB crashes. They *ALWAYS* occur in MEMO fields. The memo
fields become corrupted. After that everything goes down hill and the
record usually ends up trashed completely with the autonumber field
being in scientific notation and records can't be added to the table
anymore.
Now memo fields were often corrupted before by users stomping on
eachothers records and the result was that BOTH users lost their data
and the record simply contained a #ERROR# which could be delted and
retyped. Now it seems to escalated to a full blown corruption. THis
started happening the DAY we converted to WIndows XP/Office XP.
I've followed a numbr of troubleshooting, including making sure the
server and clients were all XP and disabling locks, and installing new
networks to eliminate erros and it didn't make a difference.
Is there a known issue with memo field handling--specifically on
contention-- in Access XP?
Is there a different way of providing a large text field without using
MEMO fields?
