Access Query - MS-DOS File Handles

[Steve Miller]

Can anyone help ???

I get the following message when I try to run something on
Access :

Error 64516 : Out of MS-DOS File Handles.

Two schools of thought from people here is that it's
either permissions of something to do with a font ???

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve,

This is a strange problem caused by, of all things, security problems.
Ensure the permissions are read/write to the MDB. Actually it should
really be read/write/delete for the entire directory otherwise the
permissions on the MDB itself will be lost when the MDB is compacted.
