Creation Date: 04-APR-1993

Revision Date: 01-DEC-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

Running the Stacker version 3.0 CHECK.EXE program with the /=D and /F switches often results in erroneous reports that Microsoft Access .MDB files are corrupted and should be deleted. The /=D and /F switches are meant only for development and debugging purposes and can incorrectly identify files as corrupted.

RESOLUTION

Do not run the CHECK.EXE program with the /=D switch. If you do run CHECK.EXE with the /=D switch, choose No when you are prompted to delete corrupted files.
