    Intermittent Error when I exit MS Access 10

    I keep getting an intermittent error when I exit my database. (see attached) Any suggestions? Note I posted the same question on Access world as I didn't know if I'd get an answer right away.


    Microsoft Access can't delete C:\home\database\database.mdb after compacting it. The compacted database has been named C:\home\database\database1.mdb



    If you compact a database using the same name, Microsoft Access creates a new compacted database and then deletes the original database. In this case, however, the original wasn't deleted because it's read-only.

    If you can, remove the read only status, delete the original database, and then rename the new database using the original name. If you can't remove the read-only status , inform the workgroup administrator.

    Compact/Repair on close is an option that you can turn off. I never use it because of problems like yours.

    Which of course proves the point about why crossposting is unhelpful at best

    PMFJI but I think the reason June7 posted that is because you didn't provide a link, which is customary. Anyone who intends to post there can then use the link to see what's going elsewhere. What they shouldn't have to do is go look for your post. Cross posting in quick succession might actually be counter productive sometimes. I for one usually would not answer in one forum if there's significant activity elsewhere as I'd risk the answer being posted there while I work on a problem in the other. The decision is yours of course, maybe just follow protocol to avoid flak.
