I have a multi-user database stored on the server. When
certain users close and then open the database, it
creates the error "_".

The problem is resolved temporarily by removing the share
(kicking everyone off), using the repair feature, then
putting the share back on.

Any suggestions?
 
Dan,

I take it you are using a common copy of your database for all users? Well,
that's asking for trouble... it is known to lead to frequent corruptions,
and apparently that's what you're getting!
To resolve such problems on a multi-user database, you should split it to a
front end / back end, and have a local copy of the FE on each user's PC,
linked to the common BE on the server. Take some time to browse through the
access.multiuser nesgroup, you'll find lots of helpful stuff in there
(including my own experience from committing the same mistake!).

HTH,
Nikos
