'The Save Operation Failed.' -- Help!

[Jeremy Oakes]

I am working in a Database that I have spent MANY hours
working on. It has been working great up until this
unexplained inceident.

I created a Command Button and I went to edit the VBA code
and I saved and I get this Error that says "The Save
Operation Failed." I Tested to see if it was a problem
with Access so I created another DB and I did not have the
problem. So It must be my DB file.

Can anybody help me with this problem. I wish not to
recreate the whole database again.

1. reboot your pc and try again - make sure no one else is using the
database

2. Try Saving the form under a diffent name

With all the operations below work with a _COPY_ of your database

1) Try compact and repair
If that fails then
2) Try the undocumented /decompile command line switch
if taht fails then
3) Create a new db and import all the items from your old db except the
form causing the problem

I had Exactly the same problem. I found that
a) The microsoft Jet Engine did not recognise one of my
forms so I had to import and rename it.
b) There was a module referenced in Tools>References which
no longer existed.
I'm not sure which of these fixed the problem or if it was
both.

In anycase, hopefully this is of some help to you.

I get this often. (Large database lots of changes). I now use a couple of
rules,

1) Don't hit the save button while code is being executed. (Debug mode)
2) Always hit the button again.
3) Compile all often.
4) When I get the message I hit the save button again. It saves then. At
least for me.
