MSysDb file not found

M

Michael Miller

I have a user on my app, an .MDE, front end, file against a back end database
..mdb, who has been using the system for about 4 weeks.

On my latest update of the .MDE, coincidentally, is now getting an MSysDb
file not found.
I don't even show that file on my C: drive either, but my app works.
I see from MSDN, that MSysDb is a security file in a container.
I have no security started or set on this app, using Access security.

I tried my .mde from my (our) C: drive and it works fine, as it did Fri when
I posted it. I had her reboot and she's still getting the error.

She has the same version of Access that I do, 2000, 9.0.3821.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Michael,

Sounds as if you are encountering database corruption.

Try using JETComp.exe (see: ACC2000: Jet Compact Utility Available in
Download Center
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=273956) against the MDB file.

If JETComp.exe does not help run a Google search for "Microsoft Access",
"Recovery", "Corruption"

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

Hi Eric,

Regarding the JETComp.exe you mentioned, I have a front end, forms, reports,
queries, and code Metrics.mdb that I compile to Metrics.mde and a back end,
all tables, database, which is kept in an Metrics_be.mdb for now.

Would I run the JETComp against the front end or the back end?

Thanks.

You want to run it against the MDB (not MDE) that has the problem when you
open it up.

For example:
- Open the BackEnd database directly... should you receive the error then
run JETComp.exe against it

- If the BackEnd opens fine then the problem is with the MDE file.... if
that's the case then you need to get rid of (delete) the MDE file and
create another one from your original MDB file.
