Unusual Behavior with Database
I run Windows using Parallels Desktop on my iMac. Several weeks ago there
was a brief power outage at home and ever since then I've had problems with my Access database. I run Access 2007 but my database is version 2003. I first experienced a duplicate record in my database. I believe I have taken care of that problem. Most recently my database closed due to a Microsoft problem. It created a backup file and started a compress cycle. That went on and on and on. I hit the ESC key to halt the process. My file went from 36 megabyte to 2.07 gigabyte. That process was repeated a second time a day or two later. I let the compress / repair cycle run for over 2 hours and again hit the ESC key. The file once again was 2.07 gigabyte. I've also received 2 error messages. One stated "You do not have necessary permission to use the HandyMatt.mdb object". A second message said "Records cannot be read; no permission on MsysAccessObjects". I use this database to maintain all my customer information. I haven't been able to update it because of these occurrences. Any ideas as to what is happening? Handy Matt |

Unusual Behavior with Database
Sounds to me that it may be corrupted. I would try importing everything into
a new, blank mdb file. -- Bob Larson Access MVP Free Tutorials and Samples at http://www.btabdevelopment.com __________________________________ "Handy Matt" wrote: I run Windows using Parallels Desktop on my iMac.

Unusual Behavior with Database
I appreciate the responses I received. Thank you. I was curious about the
things that may not import correctly. What types of things might those be? I want to be prepared so I know what to look for. Now the fun begins. I will give a progress update when I get things started, or let you know if there's a problem I encounter. "Allen Browne" wrote: Create a new database (MDB presumably, not ACCDB.) Then import everything from the old one. You may find that some things don't import correctly, but you should be able to get most of your data.

A corrupt form may not import. Chances are it will notify you if it can't be
imported. For general guidance on converting to Access 2007 from previous versions, see: http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Unusual Behavior with Database
I completed constructing new tables and forms from scratch in a new database.
I did not import any of the old database's items. Today I imported one table from my old database to my new database. Then I ran an append query to transfer the records from the old table to the new table. I noticed some date fields within specific records were completely filled with the pound sign (############). When I tried to correct the field by typing in the new date, or selecting it from the calendar icon, the field returned all pound signs, even though it would indicate the correct date when I would select that field. On a few occasions I was able to get the actual date to appear in long date format. When I closed the table and opened it again, the corrected date was once again all pound signs. I sorted my table by date and found that all the dates in this table that happen to be any Wednesday in the month of September for the 5 years I've input are those that are appearing this way. For example, 09.08.04, 09.21.05, 09.13.06, 09.05.07, & 09.24.08. Very peculiar. I deleted one of these records and input all my information as a new record. The date in the new record came back with all pound signs. What's going on? "Allen Browne" wrote: A corrupt form may not import. Chances are it will notify you if it can't be imported.

Pound sign just means column is to narrow to display all the info. Make
column bigger or change format from long date to a shorter version table design. "Handy Matt" wrote in message ... I completed constructing new tables and forms from scratch in a new database.

Not the brightest move on my part. It was the column width. I am making
progress with getting the new database up and running. I imported the most important portion of my data and that all appears to be in good shape. I believe I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
