Database 2.0 corruption problem - again

[Louise54]

In late summer of 2008 I posted a question regarding a corruption issue we
were having with our split database. Data resides in an Access 2.0 database
on our server; forms, reports, etc. are on local drive of approx 12 users
workstaitions, using different versions of Access (most 2003, two 2007).
Someone pointed me to a security update Microsoft shipped in late May
(MS08-028/KB950749) and sure enough, once we installed the hotfix KB954193
the problem disappeared.... for a while. At the time we installed the hotfix,
we also turned off Auto Updates to monitor which updates occurred.

The same problem has just recently started up again. We've checked every
workstation multiple times, but can't find that any are getting updates we
don't know about.

I can't seem to find the original thread to this problem, but it was titled
"Corruption Problem with 2.0â€" in this forum.

Any help on what may be causing this reoccurence would be greatly
appreciated. We are trying to hang in with our 2.0 until we convert to SQL
Server in the Fall of 2009.

Thanks so much ahead for any suggestions/help.

As it appears all you have in your backend Access 2.0 database, I would not
expect any significant problem in converting it to a more current version.
If I remember correctly, you may need to do an "intermediate" conversion,
because you may not be able to convert it with Access 2003 or 2007.

(And, with "frequent corruption" problems, it can seem like a long, long
time until Fall 2009 -- and, that far ahead may not be a "firm" date, if my
experience is any indication.)

Yes, I'm afraid you may be right. I guess I need to get this done, and if I
look back at my previous post, it was suggested that I need to go from 2.0 to
97 prior to converting it to 2000, which is what i'll do.
