Hello
I have a big problem with Access databases when two are using/updating one database at the same time.
I have seen that more and more datasets are getting corrupt (this means that in the field with the error stands the text #Error#)and the information stored in this field is lost. And then because of these errors sometimes it happens that the whole database needs to be repaired. So I have seen the errors only happen in memo fields so does anybody know how I can avoid these errors in the future or give me some other usefull hints about handling memofields in databases? When I am talking about two people are updating data in the same database I am not saying that they are changing the same datasets because then I would understand that there are errors.

Kind regards
Robert
 
How are you displaying the memo fields on your form? What type of control are you using and is it bound or unbound?
