I have a fairly heavily used Access 2000 database. The
associated MDW file has been getting corrupted more and
more frequently. I compacted it, which brought down the
size considerably, but it still became corrupted 2 weeks
later. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is
causing the corruption and what to do about it? Is it
possible to just rebuild the MDW file from scratch?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Kate,

I recommend that you rebuild the MDW file from scratch. Things you may
want to look at as possible causes of corruption is the file location, the
file server where it resides, permissions on the folder and file itself and
suspected users that maybe causing the corruption (e.g., inadvertently
dropping network connections as result of faulty network card).
