Compact Error File Location
Hello and Thank you,
I have my Access 2007 set to automatically compact and repair at exit. The last time I did, I got an error message saying there was an issue and it was changing the name and location of the compacted database. I can not find this repaired database and my original is gone now too. Any ideas where I might find it? Thanks, Mark D. Meyer |

OUCH! Mark, I think you have been bitten by one of the worst bugs in A2007.
Microsoft released a hotfix for this back in April 16: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=950812 But unless you know about the problem, and requested the hotfix, you probably have lost the database. Other than the kb, what I know about the bug and how to avoid it is listed below the table of bugs he http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html#Bugs i.e. just above the 'Configuration' section. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Access. Maybe if you had read my reccomendations and moved to SQL Server-- then maybe your database wouldn't be _GONE_.
