All of a sudden, my access is acting "buggy," and the
directory where my file is located now has a file called
access.lockfile.9 that follows it everywhere I try to
place a copy.

Help!

Are you getting unrecognized format messages?

Access 2000 has some problems with Win NT 4 and NT 2000 servers
commonly known as the oplocks fix. The most common problem besides
the opslock problem is intermittently flaky hardware.

Users must not use abruptly terminate Access such as by cancelling the
job using Task Manager or by powering off their system without doing a
shutdown first. IPX has also been a problem.

Ensure that all users are at the same Access SR level and Jet SP.
Preferably the latest one. (I use the various API calls available
and am checking the version number, size and date/time of a crucial
dll, MSJET35/40.DLL, to ensure it matches what I have on my system.)
See the Verify Appropriate Jet Service Pack is installed Tips page at
my website.

Thera are other causes of corruption mentioned on my website.

For more information on corruption including a more links, official MS
KB articles and a list of vendors who state they can fix corruption
