Searching for Corrupt records - Access 2003

Guest

I have a db with approx. 5 million records. When I try and perform a make
table query I keep getting an Invalid Argument error. Is this from corrupt
records? If so, I how can I find those corrupt records and remove them?

a) don't use MDB it randomly corrupts data
b) learn SQL Server and use Access Data Projects they are a vastly
superior platform.

Yes, that is a sign of corruption. See the error message in the page
at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruption/symptoms.htm for more
information.

ROFL

you could have labelled that article '101 reasons to use Access Data
Projects'

lose the training wheels kids.

SQL Server doesn't 'randomly corrupt data'

and for the record? i strongly disagree with the bluescreen / memory
diagnose in there.

Access just randomly craps out.

it isn't stable or scalable; it's not reliable.

the problem isn't 'hardware'
dont blame everything on hardware. it's a software issue. Access is
crap
