PRA: File Truncation on Password-Protected Servers
'Article ID: Q96994

Creation Date: 04-APR-1993

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

Using an incorrect Microsoft Windows for Workgroups driver with Microsoft Access may cause file truncation. If you have an early version of the Windows for Workgroups WFWNET.DRV file (dated before 11/02/92), choosing the Network button in Microsoft Access dialog boxes to connect to password-protected servers may cause database files opened on those servers to become truncated.

NOTE: This problem was discovered before Microsoft Access was released. All copies of Microsoft Access include the updated Windows for Workgroups driver and installation instructions.

RESOLUTION

Update the WFWNET.DRV driver file, using the driver update program included with Microsoft Access. Complete instructions are contained in the flier included in your copy of Microsoft Access.
