Some problems with the CCMDB.mdb program can be fixed by doing a "Compact and Repair Database". This happens automatically when the data repository is opened and closed.
How to do a "Compact and Repair Database" on ccmdb_data.mdb
Note: These instructions do not refer to your regular ccmdb.mdb that you can access from the desktop shortcut, you need to open the actual data repository which is stored elsewhere!
- Make sure you are closed out of Access program
- Double-click “my computer” on your desktop
- In the right panel, double click:
- “Local Disk (C:)”
- “ccmdb_data”
- “ccmdb_data.mdm”; enter the usual password; because this is the data repository, your main form will not show up and you will only see L-tables
- Close Microsoft Access (it is closing that triggers the actual fix) by clicking the "X" in the top right corner.
Now try your program from the usual desktop shortcut.
If the automatic fix does not work
Try the above process again, but before closing do the following:
- at the very top of the Access program screen, click on TOOLS menu
- select Database Utilities
- select Compact and Repair Database
If this still does not work, proceed with the steps in Troubleshooting.
