Re: Any resolution for Err 3734 "Database has been placed..."

I have seen that error when multiple users share an .mdb file and one
of the users clicks the "Save" button on the toolbar while a form is
open. Sometimes people who start using Access after having used Word
and Excel think that they have to click the "Save" button after they
make changes to data in Access. They don't realize that the toolbar
button saves the _design_ of the form, not the data _in_ the form.
That's one of the reasons why I prefer to deploy front-ends as .mde
files wherever possible.
