Hi,

Not sure if this belongs here, but...

One of my clients has an Access database where they store the data for their
system. I use the DAO type library to get access to it, and everything has
been running fine. I got an email from them saying that they were getting a
"Not a valid Bookmark" error. I got a copy of their database and looked in
one of the tables and the last few rows were full of #Error, and when I
selected one of these rows I got the same message. I did a Compact and
Repair database and it got rid of these rows and therefore worked.

Does anyone know why this happens, and is it something to expect hence the
need to repair once in a while?

Any thoughts
TIA

Corruptions do occur. You need to Repair and Compact the database
regularly. It is important to keep regular back-ups also.
