Re: Create MDE causes Access to crash

To discover which report(s) are corrupted, create a new database and import
them. Watch the names: where the import fails, the report is corrupt.

I had a similar issue and the reason was a corrupted report. Spotting
which report was corrupted was the hard part because I do not know of
any way of accomplishing this task.

However, fixing it is easy. Simply copy the corrupted report and paste
it. Delete the old report and change the name of the new one to the
name of the corrupted one. Unless someone else knows a way of spotting
the corrupt report, you must do this for all of your reports. You
should do the same for your forms as I have had forms crash Access
simply by opening them.

Btw, I should note that the crashes only occur when developing and
never on the finished product. Not sure how a report or form become
corrupt in the first place, but the fix is easy at least.

Hello,

Is it possible to step through the "Create MDE" process and see what is
causing Access to crash?

I tried, unsuccessfully, many times to create an MDE from my database.
But, randomly, I checked the "Allow Full Menus" in the Startup section.
I was then able to create an MDE.

That worked once. It has not worked since and I don't particularly
want to have the menus enabled.

On a related note (perhaps)...

I was out of the office for a week and asked a colleague to manage the
database. Basically, compact when necessary. When showing them how,
Access crashed, mid-compact. Thinking this may be an issue with their
particular machine, I asked another colleague. The same thing happened.

Am I going bonkers?
