Error msg "error accessing file" /Access 2000 / Windows Xp home edition
Hello,
I have a field called Job_date, on the detail part of a "Master & detail" form, which has been fine. I have it set to show "to-days date" when double clicked .. i.e. an event procedure runs. All of a sudden I am getting the msg "Error access file. Network connection may have been lost" when I double click the field. I am not on a network, have a network card connected to my internet cable modem. I also got the msg when I tried to add a new field to the form in the Master area, also when I go in to try and change to event procedure code. Have been working on the data base all day, am tired and want to go to bed, but hate to leave a problem unsolved sigh Any help would be most appreciated Abay |

Many thanks Allen for your reply ... I had imported some forms and queries
from another data base which was created under Access 2003 and according to the article that seems to be the cause of the problem .. nice to know what caused it .. I have dropped back to a previous good version so the data base can be used today .. will apply the latest patch, when I have time to-night and keep my fingers crossed. Your help is so much appreciated. Abay "Allen Browne" wrote in message ...
