Access 2003 Not Responding

Question

I get a not responding error when ever I open to of my databaes. I tried repairing but does not work. I noticed that it happen when I load two of my forms, so i imported these forms from a backup file, but still no luck.

Answer 1

TyArcher,

Not sure if you're still seeing this problem, but if you are, maybe some of the following suggestions might help:

1. Do the underlying record sources of these forms open ok (ie table/query)?
2. Does the issue reproduce when you hold down the shift key when opening your database?

3. Does the problem occur if you boot your machine in safe mode (F8) (We have seen some hang/not responding issues caused by third party apps, although usually it's with tables rather than forms).

4. If you create a new blank database and import all objects, do your 2 forms still display the same issue?

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

TyArcher,

Sounds like those forms might have become corrupt.  Have you tried to restore from a back-up file to see if you get the same results?  If you don't have a back-up I would recreate the forms, make sure all is well and they work okay and then *MAKE A BACK-UP*.   <---Not yelling just making a point!
