Getting (apparently) errors in single fields.

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can shed some light on this for me but I seem to be
getting problems in an Access 97 DB and need some help on why it's
happening and more importantly, how to fix it.

Occasionally, one of the memo fields in my DB ends up losing the data
contained in it and only contains #Error. When I attempt to go into
the field to re-enter the data I get a message stating:

"The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and
another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time."

First, I'm logged in exclusively so no one else is in the DB at the
same time. Second, when I click on OK, the cursor appears in the
field and allows me to type but when I leave the field, the DB pops up
the "Write Conflict" dialog box.

Any help with this little problem would be appreciated.

Many thanks, Dean...

Those are file corruptions. If compact/repair doesn't fix them then you
have no choice but to re-create the affected records and then delete the bad
ones. If you don't know what the content of the memo field was then you
have to rely on a backup of your file to get that back.

Thanks Rick, I'll try the compact/repair (long overdue anyway) and if
not I'll recreate the record.

I have a ASP .Net page that allows moving around items on the page through javascript. This page works fine in IE.

If you remove the doctype from the page it works just fine, although I would rather not do this. You can work around this by setting the cssText...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
