Application Error.
The memory could not be "written"
There isn't a disc. grp for this so I thought I'd try here first, since
system developers like myself tend to hang out here.
I'm getting this error when I logon to a shared Access application.
When ?
Only on older PC's. Not always the same PC's, rarely at the same time. Works
MOST of the time. May not work one day, next day is fine.
May not have any problems at all for days, even a week. If I use a copy of
the application, and run it ? NEVER a problem !
I saw something on the web saying it may be bad memory, I'm looking into
that since it is only the older PC's that get this.
My first thought was .dll mismatches, but I couldn't find any. Bad memory
gives the same type of errors.
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks.
Bad memory chip is a possibility, but as you said you could duplicate this
on other machines (albeit older machines).

What do you mean by this?
Please explain exactly how you're running a copy of the application. Running
it locally?
Is your application split with FE/BE?
What version of Access? Are all service packs installed?
The .mdb file may possibly be corrupt needing a compact/repair or even a
decompile. You may even import all objects to a freshly created blank .mdb.

Hi Immanuel,
Copy:
If a PC is failing, I can copy db.mdb to db2.mdb and use it. Or I can use a
previous version. The next day, the same version that didn't work, will work.
Runs off of a network drive, fe/mdb-be/sqlsrv - linked tables.
Version:
Acc 2k, all service packs. Before a release, mdb is comp/repair. A
corruption problem would affect all, or at least the same PC's, all the time.
Since this posting 2 days ago, no reported problems.
Thanks for any help. This has been going on since January.

One important question I failed to ask:
Does each user run a separate copy of the Access FE?
If not, they should. I would put a copy on each user's machine and each user
should run that local copy.

Immanuel,
Ok. I'll have to answer to my client as to why. They were running for years
with the shared app method. This started after we upsized from Acc to SQL. So
blaming this as the cause is ok, but I'll have to answer the question "why"
since it worked before.
Thanks, again.

Hi Stuart,
Fair enough. This is heavily documented.

Granted, there is no guarantee that your problem was caused by not splitting
the database. If you havent already, check out information re: mdb

One of the symptoms listed here sounds like what you have (worth a look) -
