hi,

I used a 700mb cd-rw disc to copy my database and then I opened that
database using AccessXP. I wrote some VBA code for a form and the closed it
and compacted the database on the D: dive.

The next time I opened the database in the D: drive using the cd-rw disc and
closed it I got the following error message:

Record(s) cannot be read, no read permission on Msys Access String

and now when I try to open the database from the cd-rw disc i get the
following message:

The database xxxxx.mdb needs to be repaired or isn't a database file. Do you
want to repair it? y or n.

click y the following message is displayed: Unrecognized database format!

Is there any way I can open this database and can I use a cd-rw to do
development on the database?

regards,

Are you saying that you opened it from the CD-RW and made the changes? I
don't believe that's possible. As far as I know, there are differences
between how files get updated on CD-RW vs. on a harddrive which preclude
using CD-RW in that way.
 
i opened it on the cd-rw once and saved the database on the cd-rw and the
second time i tried to the same i got the error messages.

anyway, is there no way i can do development work on a cd-rw with 700mb and
a 10mb database on it?
