Not a valid bookmark

M

Mark Gould

I have a VB6 application using Access 97 as the back end.
For some reason I am getting an error message when I try
and update a table saying "Not a valid bookmark". I tried
repairing and compacting the database and installing MDAC
2.7 on the computer but the error message still appears.
Microsofts knowledge base is no help. What would cause
this message and what can I do to fix it.

Did you find the following article at the MS Knowledge Base?

ACC: Network Problems May Cause "Segment Load Failure" Error, "System Process -
Lost Delayed Write Error" Error or "Invalid Bookmark" Error
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;109730

A good source of information on Access databases and corruption can be found at
Tony Toews' web site, http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm.

I looked at the article and it doesn't really apply to my
situation. I get the error message after I update an ado
record. It saves the record, but then it goes to the first
record in the recordset

Hi Mark,

Most likely the database is corrupt, here are some suggestions:

1. Compact your database using JetComp.exe utitliy. ACC2000: Jet Compact
Utility Available in Download Center
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q273/9/56.ASP

2. Try to import all objects into a new blank database, check to see if the
issue occurs on the new one.

Please feel free to reply to the threads if you have any concerns or
questions.
