Hi Everyone,
I'm getting an interesting message when I close Microsoft Access using
the close and exit function button on some of my databases. It's not
limited to my databases or my computer alone. I've seen it on different
computers and different databases all together. Here's the error...

Sometimes when you are trying to close the database it will appear to close
then a message will pop up saying that you are attempting to open a database
that is already open. You press okay and then another message will appear
saying that MS Access has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
sorry for the inconvenience. Information might be lost, please tell MS about
this problem.


Can anyone tell me or offer any suggestions on why this is occuring? Thanks
Rich.
 
If the 'Compact on Close' option is turned on, try turning it off and see if
the problem stops occurring.
 
I just posted an inquiry about the same error; not
the 'attempting to open' but the 'has encountered a
problem and needs to close...' error.

We just moved to A02 on XP and have 60+ folks in my
department using a dozen or so DB's, some more than
others, some with multiple users at a time. What version
and server are you on?

Many are seeing the errors, we've been told to
select 'Don't Send' and generally you can reopen or reboot
and reopen and you're fine. However, sometimes a backup
file is created (Samename_Backup.mdb). Can't figure the
rhyme or reason. One reply said something about 10 max
users on XP? That can't be right, can it? My company has
over 700 ee's.

Can't link the errors to any specific event. Generally
folks only remember they get it when they move focus back
to an open Access file and try to 'do' anything. I've had
it happen while I'm in design view but can't track any
specific event.

Also told other departments aren't getting them anywhere
near as often as we are. We use Access much more than
those departments. So is it related to Access?

Can anyone else answer this riddle??? Thanks for any help
or advice!!!
