[AccessD] Lookup Fields in Table Design

Just different experiences I guess.  I've had locking files (in Word and
Excel) go south more often then the actual document.  Can't recall an .ldb
locking issue.

I have seen main doc corruption too, just more frequently (in what I have
experienced), it was the locking file, which is a LOT easier to recover
from! LOL.

I'll partially disagree with you on this point Drew.

Corruption of the main doc is not more rare. I have had more Word doc
go south on me than any type locking file or mdb or any other file. I
have never heard of a locking file getting corrupt.

I have never had an Excel doc go south, so I can't speak about which is
more common in Excel.

file.  The more common issues with Word and Excel are the 'locking'
files.
Something will goof in them, and then that file is locked out.  Since
Word/Excel is saving changes in those temp files, actual corruption in
the
original document is more rare (but not unheard of...excel and word
have to
update the original document when you save it, so that is when
corruption
can occur there).
