Access 2007 Error, NEED IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE

By lavoier ·
Good Morning,

I am having an issue, each and everytime I open my Access Database. The database was working prior to the conversion of the 2003 to 2007 Microsoft Office. when we converted in my office, it worked for about two months, then a message began showing up...

"Microsoft Office Access has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state, and will attempt to recover the database. During this process, a backup copy of the database will be made and all recovered objects will be placed in a new database. Access will then open a new database. The names of objects that were not successfully recovered will be logged in the 'Recovery Table'.

If someone knows what is happening to my system and how I can correct this in a way that will not let this occur again, PLEASE I"M BEGGING! I need this database for every day work....

Thanks!

HELP on Access 2007 Error Message

by lavoier In reply to More info here for you... ...

HI,
Sorry but I already knew that stuff and it didn't really assist me in determining the underlying issue I am having with Access. I can not open my database without getting the error message that my file is in an inconsistent state and that its creating a backup.

Convert an Access 2000 or Access 2002 - 2003 database

by Peconet Tietokoneet-217038187993258194678069903632 In reply to Access 2007 Error, NEED I ...

To convert an Access 2000 or Access 2002 - 2003 database (.mdb) to the Access 2007 file format (.accdb), you must first open the database in Access 2007 and then save it in the .accdb file format.

1. Click the Microsoft Office Button Button image, and then click Open.
2. In the Open dialog box, select and open the database that you want to convert.

Note If the Database Enhancement dialog box appears, the database is using a file format that is earlier than Access 2000. To continue, see one of the sections that follows: Convert an Access 97 database, Convert an Access 95 database, or Convert an Access 2.0 database.
3. Click the Microsoft Office Button Button image, point to Save As, and then, under Save the database in another format, click the file format to which you want to convert.

If any database objects are open when you use the Save Database As command, Access prompts you to close them prior to creating the copy. Click Yes to make Access close the objects, or click No to cancel the entire process. If needed, Access will also prompt you to save any changes.
4. In the Save As dialog box, type a file name in the File name box, and then click Save.

Access creates the copy of the database, and then opens the copy. Access automatically closes the original database.

Convert an Access 2.0 database

You can import tables, queries, and macros from an Access 2.0 database (.mdb) into an Office Access 2007 database (.accdb). You cannot, however, convert an Access 2.0 database to the Access 2007 file format by using Access 2007. To import forms, reports, or modules into an Access 2007 database, you first convert the database by using an earlier version of Access, then open the converted database using Access 2007, and then convert the database into an Access 2007 database. The following procedure explains these steps:

1. Open the database in Access 2000, Access 2002, or Access 2003.
2. Save the database in either the Access 2000 or Access 2002 - 2003 format.
3. Open the database in Access 2007.
4. Convert the database into an Access 2007 database.

Import an Access 2.0 database into an Access 2007 file

If you use an existing database in the Access 2.0 format (.mdb), you can import tables, queries, and macros from that database into a Microsoft Office Access 2007 database (.accdb).

To import forms, reports, or modules into Office Access 2007, you must first convert the database by using an earlier version of Access, open the database in Access 2007, and then convert the database into the Access 2007 database format.

CONVERT

by lavoier In reply to Convert an Access 2000 or ...

We had done this already when we implimented the new Microsoft Office 2007 program into our systems. We did this with out Access Training Technician. However, this person as well as several others we've contacted have no idea whats wrong with our databases. Its not an issue of the conversion, its a issue with the message that we're receiving. We can not open the database without this message coming up. We have several other databases that we converted which are not creating a problem, just this one, and its our largest.

Right first off...

by Peconet Tietokoneet-217038187993258194678069903632 In reply to Step By Step

1). Make sure ALL users CLOSE the database, and then you open the database you want to compact and repair.

2). Click the OFFICE button, and then point to MANAGE.

3). Click Compact And Repair Database.

Have you done and gone through the above?.

Compact & Repair

by lavoier In reply to Right first off...

Yes, when the database crashes, everyone using it, gets out. We move the backup which Access created into a seperate file folder on our network drive. Then one person does a compact & repair. Once its been completed, they notify the others that its been done and they can go back in and use it again. However, its still crashing and creating backups.

Make sure that your people are doing this...

If they need the backup copy of the database they can use the OPEN button to restore and view the data.
