I got this error message at my office yesterday and again this morning when I ran the Compact and Repair Database tool. However, at home the databases functionally normally with no issue. I'm am asking this incase any has had this issue so I can give the IT folks a clue as how to deal with this. I have several databases one for each project and they are all having this issue. It doubles the size of the DB after the failure. This seems to tell me that the crash is just after the DB is ready to rewrite the database compacted. I run C&R about every 2 weeks and have a spread sheet tracking DB size prior to and after C&R. The compactions run from about 1% to 15% the norm seams to be 4% to 6%. The size of the DBs run from 65KB to 100KB. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
