What is the Microsoft Access corruption flag?
How can I find it?
How can I find the value of it, "set or not set" with VBA
(An external database, of course)

Any info appreciated.....
Thanks

I've only seen it in memo fields. In my experience, it marks the field with
# as the first character, but that is also an allowable character. As a
matter of fact, if you search for it, you will only find the allowable
characters, not the flag. The last time I've seen it was 7 years ago in an
Access 2.0 database.

I haven't had to look for corrupt records since then, but I'd find them by
dividing the records in half and running a query on each half. The broken
side always returned an error. Then divide the broken side in half,
etcetera, etcetera.
