HI,
I have a front end- back end dbase setup.
The back end is locking everyone out and asking to be repaired, on average of 1 time every 2 days.
Having to get everyone to come out before i can get exclusive access to the BE to repair it is also very tedious.
I have no idea what is causing the BE to want repairing, i compact it after repair as well, just incase.
I was looking around the TT forum at some posts, i noticed settings in Tools>Options>Advanced for record locking.
Mine was defaulted to 'no record locking', and 'use default record locking' is ticked, just wondering if changing the setting to 'edited record locking' would stop this happening???
Things i think might be causing record locking issues..
just a guess..
I have a vba function on a form command button
this function takes the info on the form, and saves it to the table TblLeadInfo, it then takes the customerID autonumber shown on the form that has been created for the new record going into TblLeadInfo, and copies it into 3 other tables, so that those 3 tables are linked to TblLeadInfo.
The reason i did that, is because i needed records alrdy created for the customer, but with no data in it.
I have another vba function that opens a recordset checks to see if a customername already exists and then closes it.
And also 3 forms that open queries, via recordset to do a recordcount to check if there isnt any there that it sends an error message to say none where found.
All not too complicated.
I can explain further if i havent given enough detail, just ask thanks for any help on this
