Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost.
Hi experts,
I have been working on a database that has been located on a drive through a network for the past year with no problems. All of a sudden I have started getting the following error when I am in my forms:
Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost.
I tried the obvious thing and that was to close down the system, and copy the db file to my local hard drive but I am still getting the error message. I have also rebooted the machine. I have tried this db file on three computers and still get the error message. Can anybody help?
Thank you.
Terry

Most likely corrupt. Check out the links given my Flavo
Another thing to try is to copy one form/module etc at a time to another database. Though that may not solve it, it may help you find your corruptness.
Hope u got a backup.
Remember (my current saying of the day), Access is more flaky than Cadburys!!!
Wow, 2nd time I got to use that today

It's still as tasty though (to me anyway) ;-)
I've had that problem with a corrupt module in a form before.
If you can get to it (or a backup of the code) copy the text of the code.
Set the form's HasModule property to No.
Save - compact yadda yadda.
Open the form - HasModule yes - paste it in.
If that works big yay - if not do all the full on corruption repairing type stuff :-)
(OK - I suppose decompile isn't exactly a huge chore lol)
