    Error Message Database in an unexpected state. help!

    Hi Herman, Thanks for the code on this. I will try it too. I would like to keep my front end on the server instead of updating all my users desktops. The only way I was able to control this error was to install front ends on each PC and convert them into the MDB files. Not very practical for...

    Error Message Database in an unexpected state. help!

    Herman, That's what I thought. I didn't convert the database. I just got the message that the database was stuck in the convertion mode. I just don't understand why I got this message.

    Error Message Database in an unexpected state. help!

    Thank Herman, I tried to do that but the error message pops up and freezes the screen. Any idea how the database could be put into a converting mode without having someone do that process? I am worried that someone is trying to hack my data.
