Anyone know the SOLUTION to this error message?

Database is a single MDB located on a workstation PC which functions as
a server. This can occur under Access 2003 or 2007.

Fix the network?

Reboot? Some of our clients have had data access and corruption
issues, sometimes related to nearby fax machines, etc.. too close to
the PC that the data was on.

I know little about networks!

As Bob Barrows said, "Fix the network."

Using Access/Jet/Ace as a split database in file-server mode, it is very
sensitive to a dropped connection, even one brief enough to not be obvious,
or one quickly self-repaired that doesn't interfere with other applications.

If a wireless network, wire it up... wireless networks are highly subject to
intermittent, often-unexplained, temporary interruptions. If a wired
network, check the Network Interconnect Cards (NIC) and replace the bad
ones. If neither works, contact the most knowledgeable of your network
support staff.

I have known, in the past, of a few organizations which solved similar
problems by complete replacement of the network support staff. <BIG GRIN>

You can be limited in the number of concurrent connections available on
"just another PC" (a network peer / client) used to contain the data store
part of a split database; if that's the problem, put it on a domain server
and have the clients log in to the domain. (Now this is where you want a
competent network staff... )

At my workplace we had a big problem with access databases, both .mdb
and .accdb, hosted on a shared networked drive. Access was running on
clients' PCs, but the database file happened to be on a networked
drive (not a client-server setup, just file access to a shared
drive). The problems occurred if a PC workstation was left
unattended for a time. The solution was to change the power settings
on the PCs to NEVER go to sleep; stay on all the time. We never had
any data loss or corruption, just Access freezing or giving us dire
warnings that the database might be corrupt. The problem was mostly
psychological in that it was unnerving having to kill Access or ignore
its warnings about a need to recover the database. Forcing the PCs
to never sleep fixed the issue.

So mike, was your problem the specific one I stated in my original post,
getting the message "Your network access was interrupted..."?

Bob,

No. At least not that I recall. I just thought it sounded like it
might have the same cause.
Plus apologies for the tardy response, my ISP or employer is blocking
emails from google groups, due to the amount of porn adverts, I
expect, so I do not get the email summaries any more.
