A family of Microsoft relational database management systems designed for ease of use.
I am not a novice. I have already posted details of the error. Now today responding to a post below, I have given a fix. And YOU ARE WRONG. Windows 8 has changed how Access works within the changed network because of it's changes. End result - effects Access across the network in certain situations - period - as documented by many.
You say:
Your turn:
Post a link or email me a sample database zipped up that repeats the network error local (you not done this).
Even if that were possible to send these 6 gigabytes, it would not have duplicated the error. If you were so certain it was a network and not an ACCESS error, you would have wanted network data. I have learned that yes people can be wrong in thinking they have a software error when the have a error in deployment. I have also learned that documentation is lacking to provide adequate detail to understand proper usage. In the post below where I have fixed the error FOR ME, in fact I learned of a utilization of the files related to my front end was the cause, not it's contents, not the network, not access, but which files are opened where. Something changed between earlier version of Access or more likely Windows and Windows 8 that made this a problem when it was not in the past. When I found the correction, I looked thru the documentation and some books to see if It was clearly spelled out - not found - except once slightly in this thread I believe. AND I WILL YELL anytime I want. I believe as stated in prior posts that when one change is made on such a mountain as MICROSOFT, that an effect elsewhere is not always found or addressed properly and I believe that is exactly what is happening here. You prove me wrong if you like. And you need to have an attitude that reflects the maker's effort is open to the idea they can learn something of their own mistakes and "kindly" ask for help that will find those mistakes if they are yours rather than an attitude the customer is always wrong. One of the things Office 365 has impressed me with thus far is the 180 degree turn on how to approach a problem a customer has - HELP HIM ASAP! THANK YOU 365.
