We have an application which was working okay till last month. But after the last windows update our clients are getting issues with access database. access database got corrupted.  We ran compact and repair. But it still getting corrupted again and again.  This issue started right after the window update. clients are on different OS. Like server 2018, server 2012 and windows 10.

Is there anything i have check in new windows update or any other step to prevent database corruption?

    I have rolled back 10 users to Access 2013 32-bit version. No issues, no data corruption so far.

    Note - I have found connecting via VPN to the backend database can cause performance and possible data corruption issues. However, our LAN is not available during this pandemic, so we have to make due. Fortunately, our VPN IT team has been responsive to issues.

    I have also added a couple email warnings to myself when the database opens & a user cannot connect to the backend database (VPN is not connected) or the backend database is corrupted. Gives me a quicker heads up to any potential db issues, so I can address them immediately.

    That is so sad and unnecessary, Stratos. I know what you're going through. I dreaded logging on in the morning, only to be informed by users that the database was corrupted again. After a while, you get tagged as incompetent and wonder if you'll get called in for a "Sorry, we have to let you go" meeting.

    Unfortunately, you have little choice as a developer on what software products a company decides to use.

    Thank you Shane.  Perhaps occasionally you could provide any insights you have as to what anyone there knows about it.  We are pretty much in the dark and any light you can shed is greatly appreciated.

    Microsoft costed me my reputation and my prestige.

    They are amateurs.

    They give a s....  regarding their customers.

    I ve lost more than 10 months on this stupid error 

    Finallly I found a work around fix and now I am trying to get my customers back, my peace and my prestige back.

    An advice : if it is poosible, do not use any product from this company. The support is awful

     Their behavior is awful.

    We xan mt count on them.

    Hi Shane,

    Could you provide a more detailed update as to what you're specifically encountering in your testing, and why this issue is taking so long to resolve ? As you know, this issue has gone on over 2 years, and many of us are frustrated, angry or just given up. It appears like Microsoft couldn't care less about Access and is ready to inactivate/unsupport the product. We are forced to come up with our own solutions, to keep our databases working.

    Thanks,

    George
