Database problem this morning
Gary Becker 
     
2 years ago
I have a database where I run VBA code each morning that deletes about 10 tables and then re-imports fresh copies from a server with an OBDC driver and saved import specifications. When I close in the evening I copy the database to a different drive/folder. This morning my imports wouldn't run. I noticed that the file size is 1,904,556 KB. I've had issues before when the file size approaches 2GB it starts acting funny. But I can't compact it because it says it's open on by someone else. And I get the same message when I open a previous backup copy. And when the db closes it's not deleting the .laccdb lock file. I'm baffled.  I did create a new db and copied ALL the objects to it. But the saved import specifications are missing.

And I can't delete the .laccdb files--it says they are in use.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it was. I rolled back to the previous build. Turned off Automatic updates and I was able to use last night's backup and compact it and import the new tables and it WORKED!! To quote Richard, "That's worth the cost of a membership!"

We've been having the same issue at my company. Microsoft Help Desk said there's a glitch in the latest version of Access, or at least Access 2019 and Runtime 2016, preventing the application from completely shutting down. They said they've scheduled a fix to download on Oct. 8. Until then, use Task Manager to trouble shoot and try disabling any Access macros.
