[AccessD] "Record is deleted" error

Hi Jim

Luckily the corruption has been restricted to a single record at a time
so far, but yes. I'm giving them a range of suggestions  - the form
they're getting the problem with is based on a needlessly complicated
query, for a start, and is retrieving an entire 500,000-row dataset then
filtering it to edit 1 record. Ugh. Ugh ugh. Unbound seems like it will
be the ultimate answer.

Hi Roz:

I have found in situations where an unstable FE and BE connection exists
the traditional bound type format can not be used. 

Either ODBC or ADO-OLE should be used in these cases or corruption will
persist. The BE data may be corrupted to the point where a restore from
backup may become a regular event.

Subject: [AccessD] "Record is deleted" error

Hi all

I've been asked to recommend a solution for an Access database that is
suffering from a "Record is deleted" error several times a day.

We're talking Access 2003 on Citrix, FE/BE split, 16 users using 2 .mde
FE's to access.

The error is fixed by everyone exiting the database, the BE is compacted
and repaired and the offending record deleted. The PK on the main table
is often lost at the same time and has to be recreated, along with any
relationships.

A little googling suggests that the error is caused by corruption of the
record, which may in turn be caused by dropouts in connectivity (that's
not clear but as 'disk or network error' is also commonplace, I suspect
it). 

The table contains 2 memo fields, and some people have reported that
these are particularly problematic viz. this issue.

Apart from unbinding the form and controlling the save process in code,
can anything be done to ameliorate this?

Cheers

Roz
