#Deleted Error
I have a split database, that 3 people utilized... one of the fields (called
Updates) is a memo field, where we can mantain notes on an account. I am not sure if two people had the same record open at the same time (but I believe this to be the case), and each tried to modify the record, specifically the Updates field, but now we have #Deleted instead of the notes. I went to the back-up and copied the notes, but the #Deleted won't let me paste the notes back into the field. I have read another posting where it says: Set your form's Allow Deletions property to NO if they aren't supposed to be able to delete records. (data tab of form properties), but do you do this for the field itself or do you set the properties for the form itself? How will this effect things? Should I have set something else when I split the database to make sure no two people could change a record at the same time? Any suggestions would be Greatly Apprecitated! Maura |

#Deleted Error
Sounds like something has gone wrong with this particular record.
Try opening the table in design view, and deleting that one record. If Access won't let you delete it, get Access to rebuild the table for you. Follow the steps for Symptom #3 in this article: Recovering from corruption at: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-47.html The corruption is probably nothing that you did; it is something Access did. Because of the amount of data that gets stored in a memo, Access does not store it in line with the rest if the table data, but stores the memos in another location. If the pointer goes bad, it is as if Access has forgotten where to find the memo again. This is not common, but it does happen. There's a long list of things that you can do to help prevent this kind of problem he Preventing Corruption at: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-25.html -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
