Hello all,

My issue is this, I have an application that I am developing/supporting for my company that stores it's data in a Jet (MS Access) database. This proves to be unfortunate, as the database becomes corrupted (quite often) causing the application to become useless until I manually repair the database. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is: Is this "unstability" something that other developers encounter on a regular basis, or is it something I am doing wrong in the development of the database and/or the application code....maybe both? Perhaps MS Access cannot handle the large amounts of data. I would appreciate any suggestions, tips, or pointers.

Pulling my hair out & thanking you in advance,
Rippin

One question (well three). What version of Access, how many concurrent users (if more than ten you may want to consider SQL server) and what type of networking (M$, Novell, Banyon, etc.)?

You can develop auto-repair system. We had this problem and developed AutoRepair function which was used when first open failed then we tried to ato-repair and then if fail we would stop app.

There are many way how to develop this function very easy is DAO, JRO and so on.
