orphaned .mdb file

Doc
I have a problem, I reinstalled my computer (upgraded to XP) and thought I
had a save backup of my database, though now I am not able to open it
anymore. I don't have any understanding of how it works, but found something
of an orphaned database. Anybody has an answer that could help me?

I am using Access 2002

Thanks,
Bart

Sounds as if perhaps it was secured and you did not save, or aren't using,
the corresponding workgroup file, an .MDW. Sometimes that will have the same
name as the database with an .MDW prefix, but sometimes it will have another
name and the user must "join" it before opening the secured database.

If your database was copied while someone was using it, then it could be
corrupted. Make a copy and try Compact and Repair.

I have compiled some code, some written by me, some compiled from various sources online, and basically i've got a very simple flat file photo gallery. An upload form, to upload the photos and give them a caption, storing the caption and filename in a text file. It's a bit buggy when removing the photos and captions from the file, and also in displaying them on the delete page. you can see it in action at www.4am.com.au/gallery/upload.php...

Hi There, I have a PHP script that sends an email with attachment and works great when provided the path to the file to send. However this file needs to be on the same server as the script. I want to develop a webpage where people can send attachments that are stored on their local PC.

Every now and then my connection to my remote server will disconnect. If I was using the psql commandline, "ps" will show it's still running (after I log back on). Is there a way to get access to the running psql process again, or cause it to disconnect and close? I tried "kill" but it didn't do anything. TIA, CSN

I have built a Domino Web Application. I am looking for a tool that will be able to scour my site and find all files that are orphaned.

I have a golden list of urls to each and every file on our corporate website. This includes all webpages and file resources. I am looking for a tool whereby I can plug in the base url of our website and also plug in this golden list of urls and have the program figure out which files are orphaned and not linked to any other webpage on our site. Is anyone aware of a tool that will do this? Thanks

Over the past couple days I've been trying to reduce the large number of orphaned wiki pages, deleting many, stitching many others back into the fabric. There are a bunch of orphaned PyCon-related pages, mostly subpages of PyCon2005 and PyCon2006. Would someone with PyCon-fu want to check them out and decide their fate? If so, visit http://wiki.python.org/moin/OrphanedPages and scroll down to the "P" section.

I'm using the Python processing module. I've just run into a problem though. Actually, it's a more general problem that isn't specific to this module, but to the handling of Unix (Linux processes) in general. Suppose for instance that for some reason or another, after forking several child processes, the main process terminates or gets killed (or segfaults or whatever) and the child processes are orphaned. Is there any way to automatically...

Hello there, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on orphaned rows and foreign key constraints. I am migrating a MS-Access database that didnt have any relations setup properly, consequently there are gazillions of orphaned tuples. If I was to leave these as they were and set constraints with NO CHECK is it likly that I am going to run into problems down the track?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
