Hi I keep getting this error "Error accessing file. Network connection may have lost "    It is not a shared DB and the DB is not split.  It is in a single folder.  I am running Access 2016.  Any ideas for correcting? 

Thanks.

    Is the db local or on a network?

    What about importing everything into a new blank db and seeing if the problem persists?

    I wonder if this could be indicative of some hardware issues/failure?

    "Could be the begining of corruption...

    http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruption/symptoms.htm.  I would make a

    back-up, make another back-up and then first try importing everything into a

    new database.  Also, read this article...

    http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruption/retrievedata.htm.  And after all

    of that I would finish off with this article...

    http://allenbrowne.com/ser-25.html and see if any of those circumstances

    apply to you."
