I have an Access 97 database that has a main screen that used to appear when
the database was opened. Now the screen will not appear even if I make it
the Startup Form. I change it to be the Startup Form, but it won't save as
the Startup Form. None of the Startup Options save.

Any help or advice????
 
Do you get an error message when you change the startup options? Do they
appear to save if you change them and go right back to them are they there
till you reopen the database? Are you sure you have rights to the folder the
database is in? Could it be out of disk space?

You could try compacting then repairing the database. You could also try
adding in a macro called AutoExec that opens the form. I assume the forms
appears if you oepn it by hand??

I don't receive any errors when the database is opened or when I try to open
the form by hand.The Startup Form just doesn't appear and the database
window does (which isn't supposed to appear).

I have repaired the database. A compact will not complete because of a
"system table MSysCompactErrors not found" error.

The save doesn't even take if I make the change in the Startup Options,
close the Startup Options, then open them back up.

Other saves will take though (ex. Bolding a text on a form). I have full
rights to this folder.

I will try the AutoExec, but I am just wondering why the Startup Options
won't save.
 
Hi,
I have repaired the database. A compact will not complete because of a
"system table MSysCompactErrors not found" error.
Click to expand...

That may be an indication of corruption. I would create a new database and
import all objects into the new database. Make sure to back up first.
You should also do a google search on "corrupt mdb".
