Runtime Error

[mjb]

Every time I try to enter an event or access the code builder I get the
following message:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE

Abnormal program termination

Any ideas on how to correct this?

Thanks.

Have you tried compact/repair and/or decompile?

I tried the compact/repair with no change.

How do you decompile? I can't get into the code builder. If I go to an
event and click on the ..., before I can do anything else, I get the error
and Access shuts down.

 

[Barry Gilbert]

To decompile, open the mdb like this:
"c:\program file\path\to\msaccess.exe" "c:\path\to\myDb.mdb" /decompile

Thanks for the information.

I tried that but it still is giving me the same error message.

If it's only happening on one mdb, it could be corrupt. If this is so, you
can start a new mdb and copy all the objects from the old one.

There's a FAQ about corruptions:

It might be useful.

I created a new database. I am still getting the error.

 

[Barry Gilbert]

Is this only happening on this database? If not, it's probably an Access
issue. If it is and you've imported the db objects into a new db, one of the
objects might be corrupt.

There is a free tool that will perform a rebuild operation, which
essentially saves every object as text and then recreates them from text.
This has been known to repair corrupted mdb's. You can find it here:

Just to let you know, I moved to another computer and recreated the database.
I have not received the error since.

I guess I'll be rebuilding a computer in the near future.

Thanks for all of your help.
