DB Opens Empty
Mike Mongan 

2 years ago
Good Morning,

A year ago I developed a simple DB for my employer to keep track of folks requesting an appointment for our clinics.  By following Richards help videos,  I split the DB and put it on a network drive so cust-service folks could open it from their clinics physical location and be able to see any updates that were done by someone else since the backend DB was on the network.  It has worked beautifly until this past week, now when opening the _be.accdb it is empty and should have 50-100 records in it.  The size shows as 696KB so I think the data is there....I've tried exporting from it but the export file is empty after all attempts.  I've also tried the repair button with no change, not sure where to go from here, do I have other options?

Did you keep a backup?

Go look at the backend DB locally and see what's up.  This is a good time to back it up too.  Copy it to your local PC, open it directly, and look at its tables.  Make sure all filters are off.  If the tables are empty, they are empty, and you need to find out why, which is a much bigger issue.

And if the tables are not empty in the back end, it's most likely a front end problem.
