Thanks Greg and Rocky, I visited the customer and found that the problem, while still unaceptable, is something that happens infrequently. When I got the call it sounded like it was happening every time they used the DB. Fortunately every time they close the system down it backs itself up. The network they use has just kind of grown so there are lots of places network errors could be introduced. The good thing is they will be upgrading their network soon so hopefully this will be a thing of the past.

One of my clients has A97 FE and BE and occasionally gets the "Unrecognized db ... error". Their MIS guy has found that almost every time it happened they had a bad switch, bad NIC, or bad wiring which was causing the user's FE to break the connection improperly, leaving the BE in a questionable state. Of course, the same thing can occur if users reboot their computers or reset them without logging out of Access first. HTH!

The DB is Access 97. From what I can find on this error it usually has to do with database writes being interupted or hard shutdowns. They claim that there have been no changes to thier network and that all etc. etc. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
