#ERROR appears in every field of one record in my table
I've created a few table and several forms to access them and my "users" have
been using the forms and tables for some time. I'm finding a problem today that I've traced back to a record in my main table which appears as #Error in every field. I get "Invalid argument" messages whenever I highlight this record, and cannot seem to delete it. Forgetting for a moment how this record came to be in the database, how can I clean it up to remove this record? |

At times like this, nothing beats a good backup. In fact make a complete
backup of your database now and put it away for safe keeping. Tony Toews has an excellent web page on database corruption. http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm Allen Brown also has excellent info on corruption. http://allenbrowne.com/ser-47.html I have a white paper in a Word document named Fix Corrupt Access Database towards the bottom this page: http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/OtherLibraries.asp -- Jerry Whittle Light.
