Vanishing Relationships

I'm new to Access, forgive me if my terminology is not quite right:

I created a database at work (through a network running Windows 2000
Server, using Access 2000 9.0.6926 Sp-3) on a computer running Windows
2000 Pro. The database is used exclusively by myself. I went to print
relationships yesterday and was shocked to see that I didn't have any.
I went to recent backups of the .mdb file, and at some point they
disappeared. I hadn't been using it lately for anything that might
indicate a loss of referential integrity, so it took me a while to
realize they had disappeared. I thankfully ran the documentor on it,
so I have a record of the relationships, but am haunted by the fact
that they disappeared. Is there something that one can do in Access to
cause these to go away? The only thing that has changed (that I know
of), was that I installed some recent updates to Windows. This was
done on the computer though (I'm not sure about the server as I'm not
privvy to what is done on on that level). This is the only serious
problem I have encounted using Access, and am baffled. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

I had this problem a long time ago, with an Access 97 database that I
had inherited. The immediate cause was that the designation of primary
key was disappearing on one table that was connected to nearly every
other table. It went away after I imported all tables into a new mdb.
This may of course not be related to your problem in any way.

There is a repeating issue of controls vanishing from a form in the Dev environment which is starting to get annoying. What happens is that I will have a form open in the IDE. The form will have a variety of buttons on it. The form will be saved, then compiled and run. After it runs, one or more buttons have either vanished completely, or moved to a position of 0,0. If the control vanishes completely, it may still show up when...

My unhandled exceptions seem to just vanish. If I put the line: int x = int.Parse("XXX"); in (which generates an exception, obviously) then the code that's executing just vanishes, leaving me back at the form (which carries on working). If I deliberately catch an error, I catch it just fine. Stepping through it line by line, it runs to the exception generating line, and then just doesn't execute anything beyond that line. I've...

I've used Access for many years. Several times, I've encountered a bug which I refer to as the "Vanishing Joins" bug. When it happens, joins vanish randomly from queries. More specifically, all joins vanish from at least one (seemingly random) query. I've always regarded the Vanishing Joins bug as a symptom of corruption. When it happens, I usually give my users advice on how to recover from corruption, and how to avoid it in the future....

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
